Haven Gateway delivering the right environment for business growth
At the Partnership's annual reception, David Ralph commented “The Haven Gateway should no longer rely on service-sector jobs to support ever increasing housing growth and in-migration of skills to deliver its economic growth. The sub-region must up-skill its own communities, facilitate new business start-ups and rise to the challenge of unprecedented opportunities in real growth sectors if it is to recover effectively from recession.”
