The impact of the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP) over the last 13 years was celebrated during an event at the National Space Centre.
The business-led strategic development body helped to bring almost £860 million of investment into Leicester and Leicestershire between 2011 and 2024.
The LLEP worked with partners and government on more than 360 projects after being established 13 years ago to drive forward regeneration and growth in the local economy.

Active Together has appointed a new Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson as it continues to lead progress on making physical activity a part of everyday lives.

Mr Reed will be supported by Tracy Bingham, who was confirmed as Vice-Chair during a vote among Board members at Sport Park in Loughborough on Friday.
The 165 page document presents policy calls, ideas and proposals from 29 physical activity sector organisations.
