What next for Professional Liverpool?
Professional Liverpool, which promotes the city’s professional community, has become one of the first casualties of the Northwest Regional Development Agency’s (NWDA) £52m spending cuts. The agency confirmed to Insider that the funding for the organisation in 2010/11 had not been committed before the budget freeze and subsequent budget reduction. It is therefore not in a position to approve funding for the 2010/11 financial year.
