We're proud to launch our True North report.
This highlights the challenges that exist within the Northern economy and explores practical solutions. It's the culmination of insights we gleaned from hosting events with local leaders across the North in Lancashire, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield.
Each focused on just some of the Northern organisations and people delivering positive change around four core areas: skills, sustainability, society and innovation.
Our report offers the perspectives of local leaders about the challenges we face, the opportunities in front of us and the role of business in driving progress for a brighter and greener future.
