On the 17th January we held our inaugural Board meeting of the Norfolk and Suffolk Chambers LSIP.
The purpose of the Board is to provide direction, oversight, and review of the development of an effective LSIP for the region. The Board is complied of businesses of all sizes, stakeholders, colleges, training providers and universities to enable a more responsive and collaborative approach to the development of the local workforce.
Nova Fairbank, CEO – Norfolk Chambers of Commerce:
“We are so pleased to welcome such an experienced and knowledgeable group of business and education leaders to our LSIP Board. The LSIP is a fantastic opportunity to bring employers and providers closer together and, through greater collaboration, make a difference to the local skills agenda for Norfolk and Suffolk.”
John Dugmore, Chief Executive – Suffolk Chamber of Commerce:
“Suffolk Chamber of Commerce has been involved in shaping the LSIP programme for nearly two years, so this first Norfolk & Suffolk LSIP board meeting represents an important milestone in embedding the business voice into future skills planning cross the two counties.
“We are especially grateful to our members Goose Services, Hadleigh Glass and ScottishPower Renewables for agreeing to serve on the LSIP board and so help strategically guide this exciting initiative.”
Dean Pierpoint, LSIP Project Manager – Norfolk Chambers of Commerce:
“After many weeks of planning and discussion it was great to get the first Board meeting in the diary. I am sure with the breadth of knowledge on skills from education providers and public sector organisations as well as input from the business community we will be able to shape the local skills improvement plan to have a positive effect on the skills landscape in the region. The team are now looking forward to engaging with the business community for their views on skills!”
