Business for Britain

Helen sponsors the Business for Britain (BfB) newsletter. Business for Britain is a campaign run by business, for business, and funded through the donations of its business supporters.

The objective of the BfB is to campaign for a better deal for Britain in the EU. This is summarised in a statement that over 500 business leaders signed when the campaign launched in April 2013:

"As business leaders and entrepreneurs responsible for millions of British jobs, we believe that the Government is right to seek a new deal for the EU and for the UK’s role in Europe. We believe that, far from being a threat to our economic interests, a flexible, competitive Europe, with more powers devolved from Brussels, is essential for growth, jobs and access to markets. We therefore urge all political parties to join in committing themselves to a national drive to renegotiate the terms of Britain’s membership of the EU."

Advanced Boardroom Excellence supports the Employers Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA). Launched in 2016 the EIDA is a network of 120 UK employers that have signed up to work together to develop best practice.
