Change is all around us
The political upheaval we are facing both in the UK and many other countries in the world demonstrates a clear change in people’s tolerance for the status quo.
This is not just in the corridors of Westminster. Over the last couple of weeks, we have experienced and witnessed change at national, regional, organizational and personal level.
Change at all levels

Universities are rethinking the way they interact with business. So, we are working with Lancaster University across three campuses (from engineering to health to the carbon neutral agenda) to help change the way they interact with their business community.
The rise of inflation and the fuel crisis has changed a lot of businesses priority for the green agenda. We have been discussing this with the Green Edge. In particular we talked about the impact of the green agenda on the food sector.
At a local level we can see the changing employment market is having a huge effect on our local business community. This was highlighted at the recent Carlisle Ambassadors Meeting. Here we heard about the wide range of changing business recruitment, training and retention options available across Cumbria.
Positive change promised
