Project Groups
Environment
The objectives of this group are to provide Associates (via the C4B website) with access to a range of guidance on environmental issues likely to impact on their business.
Enterprise
The objectives of this group are to identify and communicate to the C4B Board issues and opportunities that may affect the prosperity of the business community, its employment levels, and the growth of enterprise within the Canterbury area.
Education & Skills
The aim of the group is to promote, facilitate and support interaction between education providers and the business world in the Canterbury district. This district contains a wide range of education providers from the school, FE and HE sectors and this group aims to make sure that business links to this provision are fully exploited for the benefit of both the business community and the students in the educational institutions.
Marketing Project
The main objective of the Marketing Project Group is to promote the objectives and activities of C4B within the district and to wider regional decision makers whilst liaising with our website developers and media companies to maintain and update our publicity efforts regularly.
2012 Olympic Project
The aims are to identify and communicate the exceptional business opportunities that the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games provide for Canterbury and the surrounding district. Then to work with partners at all levels to create and develop action plans and projects that will support local businesses to prepare themselves and take advantage of the games in a way that will grow the local economy.
Major Projects
The Major Projects Group will identify the major issues and projects which restrict the long-term sustainability and growth of the district economy. It will then identify the organisations both locally, countywide and nationally who are able to influence the process of delivering these projects.
