Today the Council Company Network was launched at an event kindly hosted by Peter Ware, Partner and local government legal expert, at Browne Jacobson’s office in London. The event included contributions from the founding collaborators, Perry Holmes, Peter, Dr Ping Zheng and Rob Hann, local government lawyer and expert in council powers.
The inaugural event saw attendees from a mix of partner organisations such as Local Partnerships and Local Government Lawyer. There was broad agreement that the Council Company Network would fill a current gap in the market giving a voice to successful council companies, the sharing of best practice to drive continuous improvement and identifying innovation.
The inclusion of an academic institution, Canterbury Christchurch University, was seen as a novel addition to the venture.
