Applications invited to Chair York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership

The York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (Y & NY LEP) has launched a campaign to recruit a new Chair as the term of office for the current Chair, David Kerfoot MBE DL, comes to an end next March.

Speaking of his time as Chair and the search for his successor, David (pictured above) said: “It has been a great pleasure and honour to lead this dynamic partnership and although there have been challenges, it has been a very rewarding role.

As Chair, you are able to make a real difference ‘on the ground’ and I look forward to seeing a new Chair take up the legacy and lead the LEP’s vision to build a greener, fairer and stronger economy for the region as we emerge from the pandemic.

The LEP is looking for a successful business leader who has a knowledge and passion for York and North Yorkshire. The new Chair will need to provide clear, strong, visible leadership and get out and about and talk to people and businesses across the region about what they need.”

Applications will close on Friday 2 October.
