Hi, I'm a business researcher who has recently moved out of London to the Midlands. I'm looking forward to starting in a new job as a researcher at a corporate finance house.

I'm wondering if there are any regional organisations/networking opportunities similar to the 'City Information Group' in London.

Ideally an organisation for those interested in/working with business information.
