The voice for Cumbria's business community
We have launched Business Crack to be your voice. Business Crack is the exciting new platform from the team behind Cumbria Crack.
It is a place for conversations to happen, relationships to form and the platform to support Cumbria’s business community.
We want to shout about the fantastic firms the county has – and celebrate the region at its best.
Business Crack takes a slower, more informed and in-depth approach to issues affecting local businesses and understands how national and global challenges affect how businesses operate in the county.
Business Crack is a platform for firms to share their successes, featuring interviews with local business leaders across all sectors, as well as expert insight from our partners – each of whom has helped make Business Crack possible.
Launched by the team behind Cumbria Crack – first for local breaking news – turn to Business Crack and look no further for the best of local business news and analysis.
