The Bay Business Association (BBA) – a collective designed to bring businesses together and provide opportunities – is set to launch on 30th April with an event at The Wildheart Animal Sanctuary.
Founded by a group of passionate and forward-thinking industry leaders, the association will serve as a hub for businesses to connect, share best practice and tackle the challenges faced in the current tough economic landscape.
Members of the association will receive a wide range of benefits, including exclusive access to networking events, Island-wide advertising discounts, enhanced promotional opportunities, business insights and valuable connections with a strong network of business leaders.
The association will also serve as the collective voice of businesses in the delivery of the Bay Place Plan, a document launched last year, which sets out the strategic vision for the Bay and will act as the vessel to channel investment into Bay projects.
Open to businesses of all sizes and sectors, it will create an inclusive business community, with facilitated introductions as part of the member benefits, allowing people to connect with those that could help them most.
Association Chair, Lawrence Bates, has said:
“Our mission is to seek out and drive opportunities for Bay businesses that help them to thrive. In a tough field of operations currently, collaboration is key to unlocking such opportunities and creating the momentum needed for significant change”

Although The Bay area is defined as running from Yaverland through to Luccombe and extending 1km inland, businesses from across the Island are encouraged to join, to build up a larger network of support, and all are invited along to the launch event to find out more.
