Why Enterprise North?
Explaining simply what we do, why we are doing it and importantly how we do it. It is also about destroying some of the myths and advocating for some truth and objectivity. There is probably no more important job to do than growing our regional cities and regions and seeing our employment opportunities, community wellbeing and all round prosperity grow as a result. It is also about giving business and industry an honest voice.
