NEW recruits are being sought to carry out the delivery of a £1billion series of transformative economic programmes under the North Wales Growth Deal. The team leading the Growth Vision for North Wales is looking to fill eight key roles as work begins on the 14 projects that make up the Growth Deal, signed by the Welsh Government and UK Government in December. The projects will cover areas including low carbon energy, innovation in high-value manufacturing, agri-food and tourism, digital connectivity and land and property. The successful candidates will join a team of 12 at the North Wales Economic Ambition Board’s Portfolio Management Office (PMO), located at Conwy Business Centre in Llandudno Junction. The PMO s main objectives are to create 3,800 new jobs by 2036, support an uplift of £2.2bn for the economy during that period and deliver total investment of up to £1bn.
CEO, Comtek Network Systems UK Ltd & chair DBF Several years ago, the six councils in North Wales put their political differences to one side and combined forces to create a regional development body to transform the economic and social wellbeing of North Wales and its citizens. They created the North Wales Economic Ambition Board (NWEAB). This was the beginning of collaboration rather than competition between the councils. All the six council leaders joined the board as the members with voting powers. The team combined their resources and worked hard with total dedication. They applied to the UK and Welsh government for a regeneration grant called the North Wales Growth Deal. They knew well that the best way to achieve their aspiration of winning a large grant would be to work closely with the private sector. They therefore actively sought support from the North Wales Business Council.
