The Government published a green (consultation) paper, Building our Industrial Strategy, in January 2017.

The Humber LEP and local authorities submitted a single joint response to the Government’s consultation.  This was informed by engagement with around 120 businesses and around 20 other stakeholders.  Our engagement in this first phase included:

• Asking our partners in business membership organisations to feed in the views of their members
• Specific engagement with small businesses, led by our then Small Business Champion Graham Cross
• 1:1 contact through local authority Key Account Management
• Discussions at our sub-boards, sector groups and Skills Network
• An online survey
