A Rock the Cotswolds ‘Rocker’ is a business, person, event, charity or venue in the Cotswolds, an area not always associated with dynamic businesses. The campaign has endorsement from national celebrities, politicians, Cotswold people and businesses.

Rock the Cotswolds aims to boost the local economy and inward investment into the Cotswolds (Gloucestershire and West Oxfordshire) helping the region attract and retain skilled people.

Every Rock the Cotswolds Rocker has or does something unique, edgy or very, very well and this month’s five Rockers join over 150 showcased on the www.rockthecotswolds.com website.

Stop Press! Have you registered to attend Innovation Rocks, June 10th?

A brand new event giving Cotswolds innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs the opportunity to secure new venture capital or angel investment from their business. Sign up to attend on www.rockthecotswolds.com
