Local Enterprise Partnership

The LEP Icon

We achieve more when private and public sectors work together for the benefit of all.

The Marches Local Enterprise Partnership is the business-led organisation which drives economic growth across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin by combining the best entrepreneurial instincts of the private sector with the knowledge, resources and infrastructure of the public sector.

About The Marches LEP

We are committed to making the Marches the best place in the UK to live and work both now and into the future. We work to bring prosperity and opportunity to all our communities in a way which is sustainable and protects the environment for the generations still to come.

As well as our business, local authority and education partners, the LEP works with the investment teams of Enterprise Telford, Invest in Shropshire and Invest Herefordshire, and the Government to bring in private sector investment.

And it is talking to organisations from small high-tech firms in remote rural locations to internationally renowned companies in vibrant town centres and busy market towns to understand what needs to be done to tackle barriers to growth.
