about First November Group
Transforming strategy into opportunity
First November Group provides discrete political advocacy on behalf of our members.
We are part of the influential Centre for MC group of companies who have won successful campaigns in the UK to legalise medicinal cannabis and to provide regulatory clarity for sales of consumer CBD food products.
Our achievements place the UK at the global forefront of the cannabinoid sector.
We understand that regulation and public policy have a profound impact on our members’ business operations. Our commitment is to ensure that social responsibility combined with smart regulation are the key drivers for industry growth.
Put simply, we’re connected at the highest level of UK policy making.
