The aim of the Waltham Forest Business Board is to bring together the most influential business leaders in Waltham Forest to address key strategic issues affecting the economic competitiveness and well-being of the Borough and the quality of life of its residents.
The Business Board’s main objectives are to:
- provide leadership that drives sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the Borough through inward investment, business start-up and the expansion of existing firms
- champion the enterprise strategy for the Borough by promoting entrepreneurship and innovation
- lobby to bring long-term benefits to the Borough from opportunities arising throughout London, the Thames Gateway, the London/Stansted/Cambridge growth corridor and from the 2012 legacy
- articulate business views about strategic decisions on transport, communications and infrastructure affecting the Borough by engaging with decision takers at the regional and local level
The Board is particularly seeking women members, as they are currently under-represented.
