LASTING LEGACY LEFT BY GREATER LINCOLNSHIRE LEP AS FUNCTIONS ARE TRANSFERRED TO COUNCILS

On 1st February 2025 the strategic functions of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership transferred to the new Greater Lincolnshire County Combined Authority (GLCCA). These functions include business representation, strategic economic planning, employment and skills, data capture, and responsibility for the delivery of government programmes.

Business support will continue to be provided by the Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub. The UK Food Valley, the Greater Lincolnshire Careers Hub and our Skills Bootcamps will continue to operate at a Greater Lincolnshire level and will be delivered by Lincolnshire County Council. Their activities and their lead contacts will be unchanged.

Full Statement

The UK Food Valley continues to work with business, academia and the public sector to develop Greater Lincolnshire as a Top 10 Global Food Cluster. For more information email effie.warwick-john@lincolnshire.gov.uk

The Careers Hub and Skills Bootcamps are resources for schools, employers, colleges, training providers and adult learners. Email Natalie.Poole@lincolnshire.gov.uk for more information about Skills Bootcamps and Lee.Douglas@lincolnshire.gov.uk for the Careers Hub.
