More about
in the COLNE VALLEY
Over the last few years this not-for-profit organisation has changed. The group started it’s life, about 10 years ago, as Colne Valley Business Network, its aims were purely to serve businesses in the Colne Valley. Recently, with a change of leadership, it was apparent that, in order to grow and nurture the Colne Valley and its businesses it was important to care for and promote all aspects of the community and the environment within it. From this philosophy in the COLNE VALLEY was born.
