The North East England Chamber of Commerce has set out its campaign to build a Stronger North East in 2018, creating new jobs and attracting investment.

Chamber members have identified the political decisions they believe would have the biggest positive impact on economic growth in the next 12 months.

These include fair funding and further devolution to the North East, investment in key infrastructure and support to grow the region’s exports.

John McCabe, Chamber president, said: “We know the North East is a great place to do business, but it can also be so much better.

“Our businesses have the right assets, attitude and abilities to make a far bigger contribution to the national economy, but are all too often prevented from doing so. That’s why the Chamber is campaigning for a Stronger North East.”
