Sherrington Associates is the retained search partner for Enterprise Cheshire & Warrington (ECW), managing the recruitment of a new Chair and Board Members for the Cheshire & Warrington Business Advisory Board.
The Cheshire & Warrington Business Advisory Board
2024 sees a new approach for Cheshire and Warrington, with the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership becoming Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington and transferring into the ownership of the three Cheshire and Warrington local authorities. Alongside this, the local authorities are creating a new Business Advisory Board with a remit to provide local authority leaders with support and advice to help them realise the sub-region’s vision of becoming the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive and growing place in the country.
The Business Advisory Board will be involved from the earliest stage in supporting elected members and officers from the local authorities and Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington to develop and review the economic strategies that will help deliver the sub-region’s vision, ensuring that the ‘voice of business’ is clearly heard in economic policy making. More than anything, the role calls for a clear insight into what it’s like to do business in Cheshire and Warrington in both the with and without profit sectors, what drives their success, but also what holds them back.
