Greater Lincolnshire LEP Welcomes Rutland County Council

Councillor Hemsley commented: “We are delighted to become part of the Greater Lincolnshire LEP.

“There are significant parallels between Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland’s economies. Rutland boasts a resilient and passionate business community that bring a wealth of knowledge and talent to further enhance the LEP’s skills and expertise.

“I believe this will be a strong union that will help us to support our and the region’s businesses and economy to re-establish and thrive following lockdown.”

Pat Doody, Chair of the Greater Lincolnshire LEP, welcomed Rutland’s membership.

“I know I speak for the board in welcoming Rutland to the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership,” he said.

“Its addition brings greater diversity and opportunity to the region and we look forward to working with the Leader Councillor Hemsley, the Chief Executive Helen Briggs, and local business across the SME segments in further developing economic prosperity in what are challenging times.

“Now more than ever, the collaborative efforts of the public and private sectors are vital both to plot a course through the current issues and to prepare the economy’s route forward at a local level.”
