Exciting opportunities to develop something really special for Cumbria

Made in Cumbria was established some 20 years ago as a membership organisation to help food and creative businesses grow and exploit new market opportunities. The principal objective of Made in Cumbria is to deliver a sustainable, profitable route to market for its members via events, retail sales and online activities.

 

To move Made in Cumbria forward, a new, fresh approach is now being taken, establishing Made in Cumbria as a more commercial operation. As part of this, ownership of Made in Cumbria is transferring from Cumbria County Council to Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.

 

The Chamber is aiming to make Made in Cumbria a stylish, exciting brand, reflecting all that is best and unique about Cumbria, demonstrating creativity, quality and innovation, supported by a strong sense of history of place.

 

These changes give rise to a range of exciting opportunities for businesses to be involved in developing something really special for Cumbria.
