Responding to the IPPR North report on Northern investment, Chair of The Great North and North East Mayor Kim McGuinness said:
“The Great North is about the North of England seizing its economic and political destiny, to unlock a new generation of prosperity, jobs and opportunity for our people and places.
“We welcome IPPR North’s recommendations on pan-northern investment and developing a strong pipeline of investible propositions: that’s exactly what we will do, bringing these forward at the Great North Investment Summit to showcase our region on the global stage.
“Now we need government to match the Great North’s bold ambition to make the North of England a leading investment destination and unlock our massive potential – adding £30bn to the UK economy and creating better living standards for all.”
