Business investment, job creation and a dynamic economy are part of the vision unveiled by Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (WLEP) this month to Mark Prisk MP, Minister of State for Business and Enterprise.
As part of a fact finding meeting with WLEP executives hosted by Thomas Vale Construction in Stourport, Mr Prisk was told how the LEP’s business agenda is already being put into practice, with new employment opportunities as the top priority.
WLEP Chairman Peter Pawsey outlined an ambitious programme of key initiatives to boost the Worcestershire economy and create new jobs including the proposal for South Kidderminster Enterprise Zone submitted to Government last week. Plans for the 200 hectare business park along Stourport Road and Worcester Road corridors could create an additional 4,000 jobs.
