Addressing key stakeholders in the North East, he said that a big step change was needed. Amongst other things, he highlighted the importance of apprenticeships; set out infrastructure priorities; claimed that BIS needs to be made fit for purpose; and looked into the role of Local Enterprise Partnerships and combined authorities.
