A group of North East business leaders have come together to form an informal advisory group on levelling up.
The Government finally published its long-awaited White Paper on Levelling Up at the start of the month, highlighting issues needed to counter regional disparities while also setting a timeframe in which to achieve its ambitions.
Leaders from 20 businesses representing a range of sectors in the North East have met to discuss the Government’s preliminary proposals, at a lunchtime event at NetPark, Sedgefield, County Durham, sponsored by Square One Law.
