Four members of the Hull and East Yorkshire LEP Board are set to steer the newly formed LEP sub-boards, focusing on different aspects of the Hull and East Yorkshire economy.

The appointments were agreed at a HEY LEP Board meeting when Stephen Parnaby, Deputy LEP Chair and Business Development Director at Wren Kitchens, was appointed as Chair of the Infrastructure Board.

Professor Susan Lea, HEY LEP Board member and University of Hull’s Vice-Chancellor, was appointed Chair of the Innovation and Transformation Board.
