About us

The West of England Local Enterprise Partnership supports business growth and is working to attract new jobs to Bristol, Bath and Weston-super-Mare – and the surrounding countryside.

It's generally a prosperous area with an excellent quality of life and a growing national and international profile. The West of England has unrivalled business strengths, is at the forefront of academic research, and has a well-qualified workforce and a vibrant social scene.

It's a great place to live and work and, as a partnership between business and local authorities, we are making it a better one. We are working together to support:

• 95,000 new jobs by 2030
• 3.4% annual growth by 2020
• Over £1 billion of private sector investment over the next 3 years
• A well motivated workforce with the skills that business needs
• The foundations for a long-term sustainable economy

Our Vision and Business Plan, agreed by the LEP Board show how we are going to do this.

Our Structure supports the LEP Board in making it happen. The Board monitors progress regularly and receives regular economic intelligence reports.

We hold conferences for partners and other related organisations and reports of these are elsewhere on this website.

The West of England office provides day to day support to the LEP.
