The LEP Network

England's 38 Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) bring the private and public sectors together to drive economic growth both locally and nationally, investing £12bn of Government funding over the next seven years in local Growth Deals. The LEP Network links these 38 bodies through their Chairs encouraging collaboration and resolving common issues. The LEP Network enables Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) to come together on areas of shared importance and share knowledge and good practice. The LEP Network Management Board is a representative group of 9 LEP Chairs, who have been nominated by the 38 LEPs to agree the LEP Network's Strategy and Business Plans. Chairs come from all parts of the LEP landscape, including large City LEPs, small economy LEPs, rural LEPs, coastal LEPs and London.
