Swindon Strategic Economic Partnership Launched

It was standing room only at the official launch of the Swindon Strategic Economic Partnership (SSEP) on Wednesday 14th November - because over 120 representatives from the business community accepted the invitation to drive Swindon forward.

Rikki Hunt, Chair of the SSEP, stated: “I can’t wait to get more businesses involved in shaping the future of Swindon. These are exciting times for Swindon and I believe that by combining the expertise and energies of our diverse business community with those of public sector agencies there is a chance to make a real difference for local people and put Swindon back on the national and international map.”

Along with some short presentations there was a networking lounge, ‘break out’ sessions, exhibition stands and video booths where delegates could give on-the-spot feedback.

Attendees included, amongst others, representatives from Alcatel Lucent, Honda of the UK Manufacturing, Modus, Motorola, Nationwide, Network Rail, Newsquest, RWE NPower, Swindon Chamber of Commerce, Swindon College, New College, Thamesdown Transport, Thring Townsend and Withy King.
