GENECON is adapting its services to respond directly to the
Government's 'Local Growth' policies and governance arrangements.
Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) are new
bodies responding to the Government's localism and economic growth
agenda.
LEPs are tasked with using their understanding of local
economic geographies to lead the re-balancing of the economy
through private sector led business growth.
GENECON is working with a number of LEPs, including on
development of bids to the Regional Growth Fund, Enterprise
Zone designation and management and establishment of
revolving investment funds through the Growing Places Fund. Drawing
on our extensive experience of local delivery bodies, we are also
offering advice on structure, and strategic and operational
priorities for delivering LEP's economic priorities.
