Its main goals include advocating for manufacturing excellence across Greater Lincolnshire, formulating a comprehensive strategy to enhance the region's competitive and sustainable manufacturing practices, and overseeing the implementation of these plans while ensuring transparent communication of progress to the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
Furthermore, the board strives to establish strong national connections, particularly with organizations such as the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and Innovate UK, in order to provide further support for the manufacturing interests of the region.
