On the 6th December, prominent business and public-sector leaders will meet at The Guildhall in Cambridge for the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Economic Growth Conference – the region’s largest business conference of 2017.

The conference, hosted by Built Environment Networking, will see some of the combined authority’s biggest names in business and politics lead a debate about how to maximise economic growth for the region. Key topics include transport, housing, skills and devolution.

Speakers include Mayor of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority James Palmer, Mark Reeve the Chairman of the Greater Cambridge & Greater Peterborough LEP, the Chief Executive at Cambridge City Council Antoinette Jackson, Andy Hill the Chief Executive of Hill Residential, Regional Director at Highways England Martin Fellows, Adam Poole Asset Manager at British Land and Director at Cambridge Science Park Jeanette Walker, Cambridgeshire & Peterborough’s Combined Authority Mayor CEO Martin Whiteley, Tom Walker, Deputy Chair of HCA, Martin Fellows, Regional Director (East) of Highways England, Alistair Andrew, Head of Planning for Stansted Airport and Lucy Fraser, MP for South East Cambridge.

The day-long event will provide a unique opportunity for delegates to debate with business leaders and political decision makers and feed in their own views and ideas for future growth in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.

Keith Griffiths, MD of Built Environment Networking said: “Civic and business leaders in the region have an evident ambition to deliver an unprecedented level of economic growth in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough over the next five years. Yet as the country enters a period of uncertainty as we start negotiating out exit from the European Union, businesses will undoubtedly have questions about how we ensure the regional economic growth agenda remains a priority for the new government.

This event will provide an opportunity to debate and discuss the issues at the top of the economic agenda with those business and civic leaders who have the power and influence to ensure the region continues on its growth trajectory.”
