LEP Update - January 2011
The Government approved AGMA’s proposal for a business-led Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and officially encouraged Greater Manchester to establish the Partnership.
LEPs are designed to support business and local authorities to grow the local private sector, tackle major barriers to growth and develop shared strategies for the local economy to increase job creation.
A Shadow LEP has been formed, Chaired by John Early, Chair of Greater Manchester’s Business Leadership Council.
The Shadow LEP oversees the establishment of the full LEP and creates an immediate focus for AGMA and business to develop and shape in detail the LEP’s functions and oversee the implementation of delivery arrangements.
The LEP will build on AGMA’s track record of proven success in developing partnership arrangements with businesses to continue to create the right conditions for continued economic growth in Manchester.
The recruitment process is currently underway, details of this process can be found here.
