Membership Benefits
NGI encourages all members to be proactive in the ways in which we can work together.
Members are actively encouraged to present NGI with opportunities at any time in which they would like to work together or require support.
Membership is there to be used to members own advantage as well as to help support NGI to generate wealth, economic and social benefit to NewcastleGateshead.
