Kevin Harris is stepping down from his role as chairman of the Leicester and Leicestershire Local Enterprise Partnership, after four years in post.
A well-known face on the regional business scene, he has chaired the LLEP since 2018, having spent the prior four years as its deputy chair. Mr Harris, who is Leicester managing partner and regional accounting head for accountants RSM UK, said he will stand down when his current term ends this month.
Over the past decade the LLEP has played key parts in establishing new enterprise zones in the city and county, supported the Friars Mill office development in Leicester and helped thousands of small businesses through the Business Gateway.
