Partnership

In 2018, the Ayrshire Councils agreed to implement a new governance structure to oversee the delivery of the Ayrshire Growth Deal and to promote the objectives of the Ayrshire Regional Economic Partnership, namely:

  • To achieve a step change in the performance of the Ayrshire economy and its contribution to the national economy.
  • To ensure that economic growth benefits all people and communities in Ayrshire and, particularly, that effective support is provided to people and communities whose current economic access and opportunities are limited.
  • To develop a consistent and effective Ayrshire offer to inward investors, indigenous businesses, individuals and local communities, which is high quality in nature and responsive to changing circumstances.
  • To enhance growth in Ayrshire by making best possible use of all national and local expertise, capacity, assets and resources.
  • To provide an effective mechanism for delivering the ambitions of the Ayrshire Growth Deal and the broader economic and related outcomes desired by the partners.
  • To develop and implement a new Economic Growth Strategy for Ayrshire in collaboration with all stakeholders.
