The LEP Network
We are one of the 37 Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) operating across England.
LEPs work with the LEP Network – an organisation that supports all partnerships to work closely on areas of shared importance.
The LEP Network also helps stakeholders to fully-understand:
- What a LEP is
- What LEPs are trying to do
- How groups can engage further with a relevant LEP
Since being introduced in 2011, LEPs across England have:
- Delivered a total of over £7 billion-worth of private sector investment
- Supported 130,000 businesses
- Helped to create over 145,000 jobs
- Helped to build around 25,000 homes
In addition, a LEP Network Management Board exists and acts as a representative group for LEP Chairs.
Its Management Board is nominated by all LEPs to help direct and oversee the LEP Network on behalf of the 37 LEP Chairs. Chairs come from all parts of the LEP-landscape including; large City LEPs, small economy LEPs, rural LEPs, coastal LEPs and London.
