Brighton & Hove Economic Growth Board

Find out about the Brighton & Hove Economic Growth Board.

Brighton & Hove City Council are working with our business community to establish a new Growth Board to align with the Economic Plan that has been developed for our city, providing a common goal and purpose that partners and stakeholders can work towards.

The Growth Board is an evolution from the existing Brighton & Hove Economic Partnership (BHEP) and is intended to become the primary voice of business to inform the strategic economic growth narrative for Brighton & Hove and beyond. It seeks to build on the work of the BHEP, bringing business voices together on a voluntary basis to support the economic development of the city and sub-region.

The Vision for the Growth Board focuses on helping to embed a strong and diverse business voice and play a key role in the delivery and implementation of our Economic Plan, including:

  • working strategically at a local and sub-regional level on the prioritisation and execution of projects critical to the development of a fairer, greener, and more competitive economy.
  • supporting the development and delivery of an inward investment offer designed to attract new investment into the city, as well as retaining expanding companies.
  • acting as initial ‘Business Ambassadors’for the city – promoting opportunities and disseminating relevant information through members’ existing networks.
  • collaborating on the development of a strategic economic growth narrative to secure devolved powers and longer-term funding for economic infrastructure and growth. 

The Growth Board meets on a quarterly basis to deliver this Vision.
