The Harbour Area

CTS Harbour Area: Your Safe Harbour for Innovation and Community

For those who have served our nation—service leavers, veterans, and members of the blue light community—the transition to civilian life presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. The CTS Harbour Area is a pioneering network of innovation hubs designed to be their anchor point for entrepreneurship and growth.

Inspired by the concept of a "harbour" as a secure base, we provide a trusted environment where individuals can regroup, share ideas born from experience, and confidently build their next chapter. It's more than just a workspace; it's a community built on shared understanding and mutual support.

What We Provide:

✅ A Professional Foundation: Flexible workspaces, hot-desking, and a registered business address to give new ventures a credible start.

Expert Guidance: Tailored mentoring and business development support from accredited professionals who understand the journey.

A Powerful Network: Access to a collaborative ecosystem of peers, industry partners, and veteran-friendly organisations.

Our mission extends beyond launching businesses. We are dedicated to building confidence, fostering camaraderie, and equipping our members with the tools for long-term, sustainable success.

Become a Partner:

To bring this vision to life across the UK, we are seeking dedicated partners. If you are a local council, veteran organisation, innovation network, or a private sector ally committed to making a lasting impact, let's connect. Together, we can build a national network of safe harbours for our service community.

Blue Lights Awards ogo

The Blue Lights Awards

It takes a rare calibre of person to answer the call when crisis hits. The Blue Light Awards are our tribute to them—a national celebration of the dedication, bravery, and unwavering service that defines our emergency and rescue community across the UK and Ireland.

We believe recognition belongs to everyone who wears the uniform and everyone who supports it. From the paramedics on the frontline and the officers on the beat, to the call handlers who are the calm in the storm and the support staff who form the backbone of the operation. Our Blue Light Awards are designed to shine a light on the entire ecosystem of service.
