Cumbria’s Going for Growth Showcase in Westminster brought more than 40 organisations and 110 attendees to Parliament to promote the county as a prime destination for investment.
Cumbria is set to take centre stage at the Houses of Parliament next month as political leaders, investors and industry representatives gather together for an economic showcase designed to unlock the county’s next chapter of growth.
The new Cumbria Combined Authority (CCA) has taken an important step forward with the recommendation to appoint John Barradell OBE as its Interim Chief Executive.
Today marks a major milestone for Cumbria as the Government has laid the Statutory Instrument in Parliament to formally establish the Cumbria Combined Authority.
Cumbria will have a new Mayor-led strategic authority, unlocking substantial additional powers and funding to drive economic regeneration across the county.
