London First
London First is a not for profit[1] advocacy group with a membership composed of leaders of businesses in London, United Kingdom.[2][3][4]
As of 2008[update], it represented 300 London based businesses.[2]
Its stated aim is "to make London the best city in the world in which to do business".[5]
London First was established in 1992 to meet a perceived lack of a unitary body to promote London after the dissolution of the Greater London Council. Its first chair was Allen Sheppard, Baron Sheppard of Didgemere.[6]
Its current Chief Executive Officer is Jo Valentine.[3][4]
London First has supported plans to provide roofing over major roads in London amongst other transport infrastructure developments, a proposal currently under consideration by London mayor Boris Johnson.[3] It has criticised the Cameron ministry's proposal to require a bond of £ 3 000 for some visitors to the UK.[4]
London First was a partner in the 2014 "Wikimania".[7]
