Events
Representing your interests
At the GFSB, we believe membership should deliver real value. That means more than simply representing businesses around the table. It means creating opportunities to learn, connect and grow. Since September 2025, we’ve delivered 34 events attended by 1,329 members and guests, with the vast majority offered free of charge as part of GFSB membership. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, grow your network or stay ahead of the issues shaping Gibraltar’s business landscape, our events are designed to make doing business that little bit easier.
Representing YOUR business
Our programme has reflected the breadth of Gibraltar’s business community. Members have joined us for AI Clinics, leadership masterclasses, Women in Enterprise breakfasts, wellness workshops, networking events, the BizEd Management Course, innovation awards, business breakfasts, first aid training and practical drop-in clinics covering everything from workplace pensions to social media. Alongside flagship events such as the Annual Dinner and Gibtelecom Business Innovation Award, we’ve also created spaces for members to meet, share experiences and build valuable business relationships.
Focus on Treaty
This year, Treaty implementation has naturally been a major focus. Whilst official information hasn’t exactly flowed consistently in the lead up to this week, we have hosted dedicated Brexit and Treaty forums, Government Town Hall meetings, cross-border business events and member discussion sessions, helping businesses navigate one of the biggest changes Gibraltar’s economy has faced in decades. Combined with our regular Thrive EDIT explainers, newsletters and direct engagement with Government, these events have ensured members have had access to timely information, practical guidance and the opportunity to ask questions directly of decision-makers.
Thanks for coming
As we look ahead to another busy year, we’d like to thank every member who has joined us, asked questions, shared ideas and helped shape our programme. Your engagement is what makes these events worthwhile, and we’re committed to continuing to deliver practical, relevant opportunities that help Gibraltar’s businesses thrive. We look forward to welcoming even more of you over the coming year.

Brexit
What a Week!
Over the past two years, I must have written more words about the Treaty than almost any other subject. Through the Thrive EDIT, I've tried to cut through the politics and focus on what really matters to Gibraltar's business community. We've unpacked customs guidance, explained residency proposals, questioned support measures, covered Government announcements, highlighted members' concerns and, where necessary, asked awkward questions on your behalf. The aim has always been the same: to make one of the biggest economic changes in Gibraltar's history feel just a little easier to understand.

Explained: Workplace Pension Rules
This month marks a deadline that a lot of small business owners did not see coming. As of 1st July 2026, 'Small' employers in Gibraltar, businesses with between 15 and 50 staff, are now legally required to be compliant with the Private Sector Pensions Act. Micro employers, those with under 15 staff, follow next year. With that in mind, we thought it would be useful to step back and explain, in plain English, what the Act requires, who it applies to, and what businesses should do if they have not yet taken action.

The Budget Bite
This week’s budget addresses have been lengthy and detailed, but there has been a lot of politicking too. Here, we strip away the banter, and break down what we think businesses need to know, and the issues they need to think about.
Brexit
EORI Worries
Conflicting advice around EORI requirements is leaving some importers unsure what they need to do before Treaty implementation. We explore where the confusion lies, what obtaining an EORI actually involves, the practical questions businesses are still asking, and why clearer, consistent guidance for freight forwarders and customs agents could make all the difference.
That morning coffee might be telling us more than we realise. As Gibraltar prepares for Treaty-related change and rising business costs, we explore how behavioural psychology shapes the way customers spend, why habits quietly become decisions, and what local businesses can do to keep delivering value when every purchase starts to feel more considered.
