A new panel of experts are set to advise the North East Mayor Kim McGuinness and her Cabinet on growing the regional economy and creating opportunity for everyone.
The newly formed Business and Economy Board will provide expert strategic advice to the Mayor as she and Cabinet deliver the region’s new Local Growth Plan which is in development, alongside the work of the North East Combined Authority.
A new Chair is being sought to lead the board, who will provide specialist advice and insights from the business sector to the Mayor and Cabinet across a wide remit, as the combined authority continues to establish new projects and funded programmes.
