Do you own or run a business based in Ruby Country?

The Ruby Country Partnership works to:

• encourage profitable local businesses and services
• increase profits for local businesses
• market Ruby Country to encourage sustainable tourism
• develop a voice and network for local communities and local businesses
• conserve and promote the unique environment and landscape of the area, including the internationally rare culm grasslands
• provide a way for public funding to be secured and spent in Ruby Country to ensure a sustainable and secure future for all who live and work in the area

We are actively seeking new members to join our network. Membership is currently free of charge and offers the following benefits.

• Cost: membership for the introductory year is FREE. As a member-run organisation, there will be a cost in future years – to be decided by members. The key priority is to add to the bottom-line of your business.
• Branding: use the Ruby Country logo on your literature, signage, website and advertising – it will show to customers your commitment to the local area and the part you have to play in the local economy – and help to put Ruby Country and your business on the map.
• Lobbying / campaigning: by organising into a group we can have influence at local, regional and if needs be at national level. Let’s get our voice heard!
• Recreation: continuing to campaign for and support the completion of the Ruby Way cycle-route (80% acquired) and helping to promote the series of way-marked Ruby Trails
• Networking: opportunities for members across different trades to meet, to share best practice, and to stay informed via email updates and the website.
