“South West Growth Summit”

This Friday … Exeter University … usual suspects … best place to do business … opportunities … vision … spin … more spin … puff … more puff … and:

“After the summit, the aim is to develop a South West Growth Charter, backing Local Enterprise Partnerships with a strong business voice to complement the work being done by local government leaders. This will be presented to government ahead of the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement next month, where he will set out the government’s economic plans.”

Ah, yes … now Owl gets the idea! A re-brand for our LEP to make it look more democratic … good luck with that one.

  1. I agree with the spin, puff, mutual back-patting, self-congratulation, self-promotion etc. but how does getting support from other businesses for a business run undemocratic LEP make it look more democratic?

    Declaration of Interest (or rather disinterest): I run a small business in Devon. I was not invited to this junket. Nor do I believe it will make any difference to my business. Nor do I want to waste my time (or money? does it cost anything?) attending.
