She said: “I’m excited to join the GBLSEP at such a crucial time for the local economy.
“As we’re coming out of the pandemic and restrictions are eased, it’s critically important that we support businesses to grow and innovate, create pathways for young people to get jobs and enable our cities and towns and local centres to thrive again.”
