    As Chairman and co-founder of biz4biz, a business support network in Stevenage and North Herts, I will be supporting the LEP in reaching out to business owners across Hertfordshire and ensuring that our work reflects their needs.k

    The LEP has always been keen to promote the county’s SMEs - for example through the Business Forum and with investment in broadband connectivity at key business sites. Through the Growth Deal with Government, they have also secured additional funds for a Growth Hub offering business support across Hertfordshire
    I am really pleased to have joined the LEP Board at this time, and look forward to working with them to help drive forward our ambitions for Hertfordshire’s economic growth.
