The Association has annually elected Officers and Management Committee that meets bi-monthly to ensure that the business community has a voice that is heard. Its Members work actively in helping to shape the economic prosperity of the community.

The committee lobbies relevant authorities and agencies to ensure that member’ concerns in the area are addressed. By holding events, both business and social, it hopes to encourage networking amongst its members.

An informal ‘Drop-in’ Meeting is held in Central Hove at 6pm on the first Wednesday of each month. It is open to members, prospective members and non-members to bring before a Management Team any business problems or suggestions that they might have to improve our area or just to chat generally.

Through an initiation by HBA and Hove Council the Hove Business Partnership was formed. An annually elected group of business people, (HBA members and non members), meet together with Councillors, Council Officers, Police and Crime Reduction Officers at bi-monthly Meetings. They work to improve our Town Centres. A report of these meetings and other information is sent to all Town Centre businesses in the ‘Hove Matters magazine .

The HBA strives to keep its membership updated on local matters through a newsletter sent out by e-mail or hard copy after each of its Meetings.
