As a LEP we are always looking for ways to remain updated and informed, our Growth Hubs are working with a large number of businesses I found the Digital Leaders LEP network very relevant as it provides a national picture from the experts (and those with authority) which we can disseminate to both our own staff and to other SMEs in our areas via the growth hubs.  Cyber security is a great worry and often completely overlooked by some of our smaller emerging start up businesses so having these presentations and our discussion was very informative.

We keen to share best practice and learn ways to better enable innovation and growth in our businesses across all sectors. The Digital Leaders LEP network is a very useful tool for achieving this goal as it brings together other LEP representatives and also new and exciting digital growth opportunities. The event on The Digital High Street allowed us to understand more about our statistical neighbour Gloucestershire LEP and also to listen to informative presentations on the disruptive technologies creating huge potential for growth particularly for SMEs.
