THE COLEMAN INTERVIEW
Charles Butters, Consultant Strategic Property Advisor to Oxfordshire County Council & Founder of Sulgrave Advisors
Neale Coleman CBE, Chair, The Oxford Growth Commission

SHAPING THE FUTURE
The Growth Commission Report has now been published and on the streets of Oxfordshire, but what are the implications of the report for the residents and businesses as newly shaped authorities are formed? And how will The Growth Commission and its partners collaborate to make Oxfordshire more attractive for investors and tenants to place to live, work and play?

See Above: The Oxford Growth Commission has published its interim report and has set the agenda for what it intends to deliver. Our panel will examine how the Growth Commission will encourage collaboration, investment and efficiencies, thereby ensuring sustained growth and prosperity across the region;

  • work alongside the newly shaped authorities once they are formed;
  • make the region more attractive to the demand side, and what the supply side is doing to make it the most attractive place to work.
