The BEB will act as the voice of the region’s business community and will report to the HEY LEP Board as a key advisory partner. The BEB will be a recognised forum in which the private sector can bring key economic issues to the HEY LEP Board’s attention and ensure close collaboration between the LEP and businesses.

Chaired by Thomas Martin, Chairman of Arco, the Board will focus on strategic business needs for the future of our region – focusing on key sectors for Hull and East Yorkshire, as well as pan-Humber issues.
