Focus on EconomyFocus on: Understanding Lincolnshire's Economy

The third free LRO ‘Focus On’ event took place on the 30th March at Horncastle College with approximately 60 people attending to find out more about Lincolnshire’s economy, how it is performing, the businesses that operate within it and the people that work in it.

Presentations given at the ‘Focus On: Understanding Lincolnshire’s Economy’ event covered were such things as the health of the national economy, projected growth of Lincolnshire’s economy, the performance of local businesses during and after the recession, and levels of unemployment over time.

Presentations from the day can be viewed on the new LRO Economy Theme Page along with the various economic data, information, key indicators, and intelligence produced about Lincolnshire’s economy.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who attended or expressed an interest in the event and for all the contributions made. Feedback forms were completed by delegates and we will be reviewing these in order to improve future events and inform future LRO outputs.
