We’ve joined forces with five leading employers’ groups to create the Growing Together Alliance. We’ll work together to strengthen the regional voice to boost productivity and growth across the country. @BizSouth @bw_businesswest @CambAhead @NP_Partnership @NWBLT

This morning, we hosted a panel at the @Conservatives Party Conference in partnership with @Fit4_Purpose around how #AppliedLearning can benefit young people in the future. Chaired by Rt Hon @JustineGreening, the event invited discussion on how real-world learning opportunities can better prepare young people for work. From the conversations, there's an even stronger argument for an increase in applied learning opportunities and how both public and private sectors can work together to support teachers in implementing them. @sdavies1971

And we’re off 🚀

We're proud to be working with @GM_VRU and @greatermcr to bring their #IAmGreater campaign to life. It's an incredibly important campaign with lots of moving parts, and it's great to see it out in the world doing its job. #MakingGoodWork

At risk of sounding like some kind of Oscar speech… there are SO many people I’m grateful to for helping make @TheJuiceAcademy what it is today & this deal means it can continue to grow, create even more jobs and and do even better things in the future! Very very proud! 🥲

We’re delighted to announce the appointment of @MylesKitcher, MD of Peel NRE, as our new Chair. With his expertise and leadership in the field of sustainable development, we are confident that Myles will steer us towards even greater achievements in our net zero journey.
