Sub-groups and committees:

We have seven sub-groups, all with the responsibility of developing different strands of our work.

Each group reports back to our main Board:

Skills sub-group

Programme sub-group

Innovation Board

Business Support sub-group

Enterprise Zone sub-group

Culture and Visitor Economy sub-group

Clean Growth sub-group

In addition to our sub-groups, we also have two formal committees who make recommendations to our main Board.

Board and sub-group meetings:

In-line with our governance structure and assurance framework, every quarter, our Executive Board meet. Our sub-groups feed into these meetings through regular meetings too.
