- Build the profile, capacity and capability of single local authorities or non-mayoral combined authorities so that they are well placed to take advantage of devolved funding and powers;
- Manage the relationship with local areas taking over functions from Local Enterprise Partnerships across the country and ensure that the business voice is maintained.
