Investment partnership offers a single front door for investors in a push to unlock the region's potential.
Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority is joining forces with Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council to drive investment and help grow the regional economy.
Invest Hull & East Yorkshire presents investors with a single front door for the first time – offering coordinated leadership, development expertise and delivery support.
The partnership aligns the strengths of both local authorities with the strategic role of the Combined Authority to create a unified, investor-ready region.
It will debut at the UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) in Leeds next month, where it will showcase the range of opportunities across the region and connect investors to local leaders and delivery partners.
Luke Campbell MBE, Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, said:
“This new approach makes it easier for investors to work with us. It means we can bring in jobs, growth and new opportunities for communities across Hull and East Yorkshire.”
Hull and East Yorkshire has a strong track record as a place that gets things done. Its £16 billion economy is built on a solid industrial base that includes world-class ports, advanced manufacturing and secure energy production.
Across the region, a strong pipeline of investment opportunities is being brought forward, including regeneration projects in Hull and major industrial sites across East Yorkshire.
Freeport sites further add to the region’s investment offer, with simplified customs processes and development-ready land on the UK’s busiest trading estuary.
The Mayor also serves as co-chair of the Humber Growth Board, coordinating investment opportunities and shaping a consolidated economic strategy across the Humber.
Luke added:
“We’re ready to work with partners who share our ambition. If you’re serious about investing in our region, the conversation starts here.”
