About Us
We’re a diverse forum of business leaders, policymakers and stakeholders, committed to rebuilding pragmatic and constructive UK–Europe relationships. The secretariat is provided by European Movement UK, with deep experience in Westminster and Brussels.
Through our network we advocate, inform and collaborate - helping members cut through trade frictions, forge stronger connections across Europe, and shape a stable economic future.
Hear from our executive board members below about why Business With Europe is important to them.

Sir Vince Cable - Chair

"From my time as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation & Skills, from the work I do with the European Movement and my current involvement with business start-ups, I know that a broad consensus exists in the business world in favour of closer trading relationships with our European neighbours. It is my firm belief that joining together in this new forum will benefit businesses large and small and help the British economy power the growth and prosperity we desperately need." |

Sir Nick Harvey - CEO

"Business With Europe is about rebuilding trust, collaboration, and opportunity between the UK and our closest neighbours. For too long, businesses have been caught in the crossfire of political uncertainty - and it’s time to put practicality first. Through this network, we’re giving business leaders a voice, forging new partnerships, and showing that constructive engagement with Europe is not only possible, but essential for the UK’s prosperity." |
Sian Norris-Copson - Manager

"Our members come from every corner of the UK - from manufacturing to services, from small enterprises to major industry groups - but they share one thing in common: a desire for better, more stable relations with Europe. At Business With Europe, we’re creating a space where those voices can connect, collaborate, and influence real change. It’s inspiring to see business leaders coming together with a shared sense of purpose — not just to talk about problems, but to build practical solutions." |
