Leverage - Plan for the NE
‘Money only listens to money’Move your money corporate style
1. Target LA leaders and NE MP’s to put Financial Resilience onto agenda of ANEC
2. Get ANEC to research profiling of areas according to bank and credit data they request and receive
3. Draw up a list of priorities for financial resilience
4. Invite all the banks to come round the table and ask THEM what they’re going to do to deserve the procurement of £100’s millions???
