Oliver Baines

"Tourism is central to Cornwall's wellbeing and economy, and with climate change, oil scarcity and a shaky world economy faces an unpredictable future. This is the time to prepare for it, and CoaST and its amazing membership is doing a brilliant job of kickstarting the process. We are limited only by the limitations we give ourselves! "

Andy Brelsford, Chair

"There are many demands on our time these days but there are some things you should make time for and to me, CoaST is top of that list!"

Andrew Biss

"The issues that CoaST tackle face us all on a local, national and international basis. Being a part of this organisation helps me put something back at the local level and I am very proud to be involved."

Valerie Penny

"Running a micro business myself I know only too well how little time there is to think about anything other than the bare essentials , therefore giving my time to CoaST , an organisation which empowers and supports so many micro business to take simple steps on the road to a more sustainable future is hugely rewarding and it's a fantastic privilege to work alongside such a committed and innovative team of people!
