British Influence evolved out of Nucleus, a "eurorealist" campaign group founded in 2010. Its aim was to put forward the case for Britain's continued membership of the European Union.[6]
It ran the "Our Biggest Market" campaign [7] of small-business leaders who wanted Britain to remain the European Union. It published a daily email of news and views on Britain's relationship with the EU entitled "Europewatch". The group ran the "Future of Europe Forum" of MPs, Peers, businessmen and former diplomats to push the UK's EU reform agenda.
In 2013 the group published a manifesto, "Better Off in a Better Europe".[8]
In 2016 the group changed its name to "The Influence Group" which advised UK businesses on the single market.[9]
