Catch up on the Humber LEP AGM 2020

The Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) set out its agenda for the Humber’s future development – focusing on a green recovery for the region – as it confirmed it would be re-forming as a LEP solely for Hull and East Yorkshire at its Annual General Meeting.
 

Stephen Parnaby OBE, Chair of the Humber LEP, set out a vision for the Humber focusing on the continued decarbonisation of the region, opportunities in clean growth and freeports, as well as the continued investment in our region – bringing in new jobs and businesses, also highlighting the spirit of collaboration that would see a continued strong partnership between those working on both the North and South Bank of the Humber as we work towards a shared agenda for the economic future of the region.
