Leicester Business Voice (LBV)

Published on 9 November 2026 at 09:42

Last week I was asked by LBV (along with many others, I am sure!) to provide a video blog about the business organisation to be published on their website to explain its role and encourage new members. I thought customers and suppliers of my company may find it of interest

Here is my text, which I thought was appropriate:

“My name is Peter Wilkinson. As Managing Director of Landmark Planning Ltd, I have worked in the city for nearly 30 years, as part of the business community. In my opinion, it is essential that the business sector has a means of collectively articulating its issues, concerns and advice to both public bodies and the wider community. There must be a dialogue.

LBV, as far as I am aware, is the only broad-church business body that can provide a Leicestershire-centric view to aid the broader development of the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the area and parallel to that LBV also provides an essential conduit for Landmark Planning, as a business, to understand its part in the wider context in which we operate. In these ways, we can be a better business.”
