I have worked with Downtown in Business since its inception and our association has proved to be an invaluable asset to my business and to the growth and prosperity of my clients including many local, regional and national brands. The support and benefits my business and my clients have received have been wide-ranging and ultimately profitable.
Their no-nonsense approach and knowledgeable understanding of business and connectivity means that they talk the talk, where many simply walk the walk. They measure their success on the success of their members and partners have become one of the most powerful business connectors in the city and the wider city region. Over the years they have moved with the times, embraced technology and continued to build and grow their network for the benefit of members and partners.
They have guided their membership through a pandemic and cost of living crisis and increasingly turbulent political times. Downtown in Business and Chief Executive Frank Mckenna have been instrumental in amplifying the business voice of the North in Westminster and beyond and have built meaningful relationships with those who have the ability to improve the regions business and political landscape.
Not afraid to voice an unpopular opinion if it benefits business members Downtown has proved itself to be a vital support network and a growth platform for the future.
Downtown have been, and will continue to be a forthright business and lobbying organisation that empowers business and entrepreneurs, pushes boundaries and achieves what many see an unachievable. They have changed perceptions, opened doors and supported business for over 20 year in spectacular fashion – long may Downtown prosper and thanks for the 20 years of loyalty and support!
