An economy worth £17 billion, a population approaching 800,000 and a business community of over 30,000 with the UK’s third largest finance sector, second fastest growth area for start-ups and the top area for high growth digital business – there is much to build on. However, with a persistent productivity gap and the oldest population in the UK leading to a potential vacancy replacement of over half our workforce in the next 15 years, there is much to do, particularly in a climate emergency, the impact of COVID-19 and establishing a new trade environment after the UK’s exit from the EU.
