Governance360 forms new strategic partnership with the Association for Cultural Enterprises

Governance360 is pleased to announce (31st May 2024) a new partnership with leading membership organisation the Association for Cultural Enterprises to offer an innovative set of tools which will help member organisations develop their resilience as well as their organisational structure and purpose.

Governance360, a company now funded by the Development Bank of Wales and a former winner of TechNation’s Rising Stars competition, offers a suite of tools which solve the key complexities of running a Board – simple meeting workflow and structure (no more emails or cloud storage conflicts), a risk register tool that is accessible by all 24 hours a day, and a CPD accredited digital learning academy to help recruit and train volunteers.   

Founded by Clive Bawden based on his own experience as a Charity Trustee and Company Director, Governance360 has created simple to use, affordable software that helps build structure and accountability for Boards of Trustees. Cultural Enterprises is successfully using the platform with its own Board, and now members can also take advantage of the benefits it offers with exclusive member rates. 

Cultural Enterprises CEO Gordon Morrison said, “I am delighted that the Association for Cultural Enterprises has secured this partnership with such an exciting and innovative new operator. Having experienced the services provided for myself, I know that Governance360 will directly appeal and be of real, practical value to cultural organisations of all shapes and sizes. It makes perfect sense for Cultural Enterprises to partner with Governance360 to offer further tangible benefits to our members.”
