C4DI are very proud to have supported the Barclays bid and are very much looking forward to working with them on the programme, continuing our long and established partnership with the Eagle Labs network across our sites in Yorkshire.
Our work with Barclays started many years ago with their fantastic regional business team. Five years ago this developed into the partnership we have today where we work together to help grow business across Yorkshire. We could not be more excited about this new phase of the Eagle Labs development and look forward to the new opportunities this brings to grow our partnership.
Many congratulations to Barclays and the other supporting bid partners around the UK!
