Lancashire’s regeneration projects hold the key for long-term growth and opportunities; business leaders have been told.
More than 60 business leaders and stakeholders gathered at The Mill Café at St Catherine’s Hospice earlier this month for the latest Lancashire Economic Breakfast – an event focused on long-term economic opportunity through regeneration amid continuing short-term uncertainty.
Sponsored by leading independent law firm Brabners, the breakfast event provided a first look at the results of the latest Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) – a mixed bag that highlighted ongoing concerns about costs, recruitment challenges, and flatlining customer demand across key sectors.
Panel members included leading figures from business, local government and economic development, who explored how major regeneration projects – from city centre masterplans to transport investment and business innovation hubs – are creating opportunity and boosting confidence despite broader economic headwinds.
