‘The Enterprise Forum is an important link between the business community and the Conservative Party, and helps to produce better informed policies and legislation. Only by strong communication and mutual understanding will policy makers and the business community build the vibrant, competitive economy that we all value.’
George Osborne MP
Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer


‘BA operates in a highly regulated environment and one that is particularly susceptible to major geo-political events. Against this backdrop, it is more important than ever that our industry engages effectively with current and future policy makers. The Enterprise Forum has, for many years, provided an excellent platform for honest and open dialogue between Business and senior members of the Conservative Party and continues to go from strength to strength.’
Jim Forster - General Manager, Regulatory & Political Affairs - BA
