Enterprise M3 has a business-led board made up of 20 members split between both the private, public sector and not-for-profit sector.
The Enterprise M3 LEP Board, led by Michael Queen, is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the LEP, establishing targets and priorities and monitoring progress towards those targets.
Enterprise M3's Assurance Framework sets out the role of, and Terms of Reference for, the Board. Each Board Member has completed a Register of Interests form, and the full register can be found here.

Covid-19 Sub Group
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic a Sub-Group of the Board has been established with delegated decision making powers and to take business critical decision relating the Enterprise M3's response to Covid-19. The Terms of Reference for the Sub Group can be found here.

Enterprise M3 seeks to place as much information as possible in the public domain, however due to the nature of the work there may be some papers which are not suitable for publication. The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 and Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 as amended will be used to determine whether documents should be exempt or classified. Our Confidential Items Policy gives further details of this process. If you would like to apply to see to details of any confidential papers or you would like to make representation to the Enterprise M3 Board please contact Justine Davie at justine.davie@enterprisem3.org.uk.
