The Whitehall & Industry Group states that it 'is an independent, not for profit organisation that builds understanding and co-operation between government and business with the aim of achieving better informed policy and regulation, more effective cross-sector partnerships and better leadership.'[1]

WIG helps organisations achieve these benefits through three main areas of activity:
  • People Exchange
  • Events and networks
  • Leadership and Development programmes
The annual WIG membership fee for an organisation is £3,500 (+VAT) which gives its individuals access to each of the activities listed above.[2]
