Hear from previous sponsors:

It feels very much like a partnership, rather than just a business that wants to sell us a package. We’re working alongside each other. [The Business West Chamber networking breakfast] was an opportunity where business people are coming together in a very structured way, and it’s quite a wide reach of people. It covers a bigger geographical area. We know that in Bristol as a whole, our profile has been raised. We’re a very small business. We don’t have a huge presence in the city, so we get a much wider reach by being associated with Business West in this way.

Sponsoring the [Meet the Neighbours] event was a very positive experience. Introducing our business to all attendees provided a natural starting point for conversations, while the merchandise and branded giveaways helped increase our visibility. Overall, the sponsorship gave us a valuable opportunity to meet new people, build connections and raise awareness of Impact IT Solutions. A key benefit of the sponsorship was having a few minutes to introduce Impact IT Solutions and explain what we stand for—an opportunity you don’t often get in front of a large networking group. I also particularly valued the social media coverage before and during the event, along with the photos featuring our merchandise and banner. As Marketing Manager, I especially valued that added visibility.

Business West has established itself as one of the top regional business voices in national policy discussions. Through its Party Conference programme, it brings together business, political and civic leaders to champion the opportunities and ambitions of the West of England. As a sponsor in 2026, YTL UK valued both the quality of stakeholder engagement and the strength of Business West's political insight. The team's deep understanding of government priorities, combined with its ability to unite partners around a shared regional narrative, creates real opportunities to influence conversations and build lasting relationships. If you want to be part of the region's growth story and engage meaningfully with policymakers, Business West is an invaluable partner.
