GENECON has been selected as specialist advisor to the East Riding of Yorkshire Council in developing its new economic strategy. This reflects GENECON's national track record in devising innovative and realistic plans for local growth delivery and our extensive knowledge of the East Riding's economic geography.

This is a particularly interesting time for the East Riding economy given its role in both the Humber and York & North Yorkshire LEPs, and the challenges arising through the impact of the recession. The area offers locational diversity and quality combined with good access to important economic centres and has recognised potential for growth in some key business sectors.  The strategy will seek to define a clear and realistic strategic role and economic trajectory for the East Riding, enabling the area and its assets to support long term growth in the respective LEP areas.
