Meet the new Leeds Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Chairman - Tuesday 29 March from 5pm - 6:30pm at Thorpe Park Hotel, Leeds

We are supporting a special event to enable you to question the new Leeds LEP Chairman.

The event will be 'Question Time' style, giving you and your colleagues in the local business community the opportunity to find out about the new Leeds LEP, one of 19 organisations granted LEP status by the Government.

The Leeds LEP is a voice for local businesses and will help direct strategy, funding, investment, planning and commissioning of economic development activities in the region.  It will have a fully operational board by April 2011 and has already appointed lawyer, Neil McLean as its chair.  We are delighted that both Mr McLean and Councillor Keith Wakefield, Leader of Leeds City Council will be members of the panel.

The new LEP is an important economic body and has already been actively meeting local businesses. Our event will ensure that experiences, ideas and opinions of private sector businesses at the heart of the Yorkshire economy are heard loud and clear.

Places are limited so please contact Victoria Goff on 0113 297 6767 or email v.goff@sagars.co.uk if you would like to join us at the event.
