  • To assist in retaining a skilled, quality driven workforce and develop further opportunities throughout the area.
  • To encourage inward investment in Sussex and Surrey through encouraging new business and strengthening existing businesses.
  • To develop links throughout the UK, Europe and beyond, where applicable, for the membership.
