About Us
WIG is an independent not-for-profit, non-lobbying organisation with a charitable purpose – to build understanding and co-operation between government and business to achieve:
- Better informed policy and regulation
- More effective cross-sector partnerships
- Better leadership
With increasing interdependence and partnership working between government and business – to face major challenges such as climate change or to achieve the government’s delivery agenda – WIG helps to build the knowledge, understanding, respect and trust that are the essential underpinning to successful partnerships.
Our work is supported by a number of distinguished patrons representing the different sectors of WIG membership:
- Sir Gus O’Donnell, Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Home Civil Service
- Richard Lambert, Director General of the CBI
- Paul Coen, Chief Executive, Local Government Association
- Sir Tom McKillop, Chairman, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc
