The Mid-Warwickshire branch committee consists of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick & Kenilworth. The Forum is held quarterly and provides an opportunity for local businesses to network and discuss the pressing business issues of the day. Forums take many forms, including company tours, consultations with local councils and infrastructure stakeholders, as well as the chance to meet with local MPs. However, the main focus is on providing you with the ideal way to learn about, and get your voice heard, on the issues that matter to you and your community.
