    “I think the strength of London First, compared with other organisations, are around its organisation and impact. Particularly the programme of meeting, events and networking that London First puts on is intensive and it’s good value for money in terms of what we can see out of it. The ability to discuss with policy makers, potential clients and influencers in London are all important to us – understanding how we can take our business forward in the capital.”

    – Andrew Jones, Cities Programme Leader, AECOM
