Together Gloucestershire is a movement. A lobbying initiative. A commitment to more business being done in Gloucestershire and to getting public money flowing more readily throughout the County.
Did you know, that when £1 is spent with a local business, the Local Multiplier effect means that the value to the Gloucestershire economy is £1.63, whereas when it is spent with a national company, that same value is £1.40, and with an international company £1 is worth exactly £1*. This is because, when it is spent in the local area with a local business, those same businesses employ local people and spend with their own local suppliers, meaning that more local business generates more local business. This is an essential mechanism for us to create a more prosperous and thriving Gloucestershire economy.
Together Gloucestershire brings together suppliers and buyers, and we use that to influence public policy and local investment. Thanks to our momentum, our buying partners are pledging to increase their local supply chain sourcing by between 5% and 15% each. This could mean as much as an extra half a billion pounds in the local economy per year in Gloucestershire in the coming years, and Together Gloucestershire members are first in line to benefit.
