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.

Could Gibraltar be missing a golden opportunity? GFSB Board Director Brian Ross believes the answer is yes. In this thought-provoking opinion piece, he argues that Gibraltar should consider a residency route for financially self-sufficient individuals, attracting experienced people with the wealth, expertise and international networks to strengthen our economy. Could this be the next step in keeping Gibraltar competitive?

For many SMEs, the success of the business has been built on the expertise, relationships and commitment of its owner. This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses. However, as organisations develop, dependence on a single individual can become a strategic risk.
