If you haven’t come across Shaping Portsmouth, then may I introduce you?
Shaping Portsmouth is a unique organisation, bringing together key stakeholders and decision makers across the city for the benefit of local businesses, community and education. Unique because as Development Manager for Hampshire, Dorset and Isle of Wight, I’m not aware of any similar organisations (certainly in the South Central area), that work collaboratively as a ‘not for profit’ organisation for the genuine good of the local economy.
