York Biotech Campus’ Post

Thanks Simon Keegan and everyone who attended the round table on Tuesday with Wirral Chamber of Commerce Paula Basnett John Spofforth Gordon Andrews, Business Cash-Flow Finance Specialist Dean Paton Stephen Parry to name a few. This is the reason why Birkenhead has the capacity to reinvent itself and City Status would really help. 10 things Birkenhead was first with over the years. 1.     Public Park: Birkenhead Park, designed by Sir Joseph Paxton and opened in 1847, is considered the first publicly funded civic park in the world. Its design influenced the development of Central Park in New York City. 2.     Street Tramway: The Birkenhead tramways system, established in 1860, was the first street tramway in Europe. It pioneered the use of street-level tracks, setting a precedent for urban public transport. 3.     Municipal Water Supply System: Birkenhead was one of the first towns to introduce a municipal piped water supply system, providing clean water to its residents before many other places. 4.     Public Baths: Birkenhead opened one of the first public bathhouses, offering both swimming and bathing facilities to the public, improving hygiene and public health in the mid-19th century. 5.     Town Planning: The layout and planning of Birkenhead were innovative for their time, featuring broad street layouts and significant public amenities, influencing later urban planning. 6.     Mechanized Dock Dredging: The Birkenhead Docks were among the first to use mechanized systems for dock dredging and maintenance, improving efficiency in port operations. 7.     Use of Hydraulic Machinery: Birkenhead was pioneering in the use of hydraulic machinery for dock gates and bridges, advancing the technology used in maritime infrastructure. 8.     Public Funding of Culture: The Birkenhead Literary and Scientific Institution, established in the 1830s, was one of the first publicly funded cultural institutions, promoting education and learning in the community. 9.     Railway Innovations: The railway connections developed in Birkenhead included some of the earliest innovations in rail technology and management, improving transportation and commerce. 10.  Shipbuilding Techniques: The shipyards in Birkenhead were among the first to employ advanced shipbuilding techniques, including iron ships and technically advanced steamships.

Innovation in municipal governance is crucial, and Boston is setting a great example. Obtaining an alcohol license can be a daunting process for businesses, filled with numerous statutory and regulatory hurdles. However, creative and supportive thinking can transform this challenge into an opportunity. Boston Globe Business Columnist, Shirley Leung, recently reported on establishments in food halls sharing a liquor license and a former City Councilor who filed a home-rule petition to add new liquor licenses to the city’s quota to accommodate a mixed-use complex. By asking, "How can our city/town assist business owners in achieving success?" we can create win-win scenarios that foster local business growth and community prosperity. Let's inspire more municipalities to follow Boston's lead and champion smart, supportive solutions!

✨ NEW EPISODE ✨ In this episode of Intentionality with Dominique, sponsored by the Carolinas-Virginia Minority Supplier Development Council (CVMSDC) – also known as CVMSDC or The Council, Dominique Simpson Milton, MBA and Brian Anderson, CEO of ChamberRVA, explore how chambers of commerce drive economic growth through regional collaboration, leadership programs, and equity-focused initiatives. Ever wondered what a regional chamber is and why it’s essential? 🤔 Regional chambers are vital to fostering economic collaboration and supporting thriving communities. Here's why they matter: 1️⃣ Bridging Boundaries: Economic challenges don’t stop at county lines. Regional chambers tackle complex issues like transportation, housing, and workforce development, ensuring collaboration across jurisdictions. 2️⃣ Building Connections: For over 500 years, chambers have connected businesses of all sizes. They serve as the backbone of networking, giving every business a voice. 3️⃣ Inclusive Membership: Take Richmond, for example—40% of chamber members are small businesses. This diversity brings fresh perspectives to regional growth initiatives. 4️⃣ Professional Development Focus: Beyond retail, chambers support professional services like architecture, catering, and consulting, promoting a well-rounded economy. If you’re part of a local business community, a regional chamber can help you grow. They’re for everyone, not just big players. What’s your experience with local chambers? Have they impacted your business? Share your thoughts!
