Swindon and North Wiltshire


Welcome to the Swindon and North Wiltshire Branch Website


We're a busy Branch with an active events programme (see Events for more details) with exciting topics planned for 2008. If you're a local member, or perhaps a member of one of our adjacent branches, you're welcome at any of the advertised events.

We also have a special interest group dedicated to the specific needs of self-employed members in the area and those working in small businesses or as independents. They provide a support network and run targeted events.

Look out too for our quarterly newsletter which we post to everyone registered to this Branch. You'll find an e-copy under "Newsletter" on this site.
