Influence

We believe Sussex is a great place to do business, but there are still things that stop our firms from reaching their full potential. We campaign on a wide range of issues to improve the regional business environment and help Sussex companies succeed.

Our relationships with decision makers at local, regional and national levels allow the voice of our members to be heard in the right place at the right time.

Our business priorities and campaigns set the policy changes our members want to see, while our network of meetings, events and forums ensure that our priorities match current business needs. Influencing policy can only be achieved with the direct input of our membership.

To support this work, we also regularly undertake research on the state of the regional economy, including our flagship Quarterly Economic Survey.
