Following the previous government’s decision to transfer economic functions and business representation responsibility to upper tier authorities in England, the Business Board Network (formerly the LEP Network) seeks to support and meet the needs of the business and economic boards.
OxLEP continues to work closely with the Business Board Network, drawing upon collective experience, expertise and influence to ensure that the ‘business voice’ is heard and a consistent one.
The Business Board Network’s mission continues to be to connect local businesses and leaders of local growth in the pursuit of helping to grow local economies.
