ABOUT
Suffolk Growth Partnership brings together public sector organisations to align and promote countywide economic growth objectives as part of a single, ambitious strategic vision. We work across Suffolk and the wider region, engaging with a range of stakeholders to drive positive change through shared activity, delivery and promotion.
In our 2019 Framework we set out our four agreed inclusive growth aims. We have refreshed these aims in 2020
and they are set out below:
Suffolk’s Businesses: Make Suffolk an optimal location for business expansion, sustainability, and viability across all our sectors
Suffolk’s Employees: Meet identified skills & employment needs to facilitate inclusive economic growth & improve employment opportunities
Suffolk’s Communities: Create a consistent, efficient & transparent approach to planning leading to improved housing delivery and community development
Suffolk’s Connections: Secure investment in our economic & social infrastructure
Suffolk Growth Partnership reports to Suffolk Growth Portfolio Holders (G/Ph). The current Chair of G/Ph is Councillor Nick Gowrley (Cabinet Member for Economic Development, Housing and Enterprise, Suffolk County Council).
Suffolk Growth have three members of full time staff to lead, deliver, influence & manage the work of the
Suffolk Growth Partnership Board.
