Join Leiston Business Association

LEISTON has a history of business activity, particularly related to local support and provision for innovation and technology.  These activities include Garrett's and the manufacturing of farm machinery, Sizewell 'A + B, farming, niche manufacturing, a busy Town Centre and numerous SME that have become part of our rich business environment.

The LBA consists of Leiston, Sizewell, Theberton, Aldringham and Thorpeness and we represent all businesses from sole traders and SME to larger businesses. Our aim is for businesses to work closer together, help each other market our products and services and give back something to our local community. If there are large new developments in the area we will see a huge influx of people and potential business that we could all capitalise from. 

• Opportunities to network and meet with other local businesses on a bi-monthly basis.

• Share experiences and ideas of ways to attract trade and industry to the area.

• Enhance new business and feature in the annual members directory.

• Take part in social activities, exhibit and promote your business to the local community.

• Take part in supporting and fund raising for local charities.

• With the development of a website have the opportunity to feature in the members listing.

• The opportunity through LBA to participate in and benefit from the Heritage Coast Market Towns Initiative.

• Find out about new energy developments in your area. 

Since the re-establishment of the LBA in late 2009, we have formed a working committee with local business people who are pushing through your ideas to help the business community in the IP16 area. We are working closely with Aldeburgh, Saxmundham, Orford and Wickham Market to create a close-knit community of ideas and marketing to generate more interest in your own businesses.

Now if you want to be involved and think that it is worth £30 for a years membership, please download the form from the link in the right-hand column and either scan and send as an email attachment or send by post to the address below.
