I am delighted to have been appointed as a Strategic Advisor to MIRA Technology Park to help them deliver their ambitious growth Plans in the Region. I will be engaging with key stakeholders across the East of the Region and in Westminster.

“I have supported MIRA Tech Park as LLEP Chair because it is a critical site for our local economy and I am thrilled to continue to do so in this new role.

Mira has an ambitious masterplan will deliver over 4 million sq ft of commercial floorspace to bring game-changing opportunities to the region and indeed the UK. In the last ten years, we’ve seen MIRA Tech Park secure hundreds of millions in FDI with new global tenants who have created hundreds of new high value roles for local people. Around a third of employees at the Tech Park live in Leicester and Leicestershire bringing much needed income into our local high streets as well.”

I have loved everything I have seen at MIRA over recent years and can’t wait to help deliver their ambitious plans. More importantly there is a great team. I choose to work with people I like and respect!

MIRA have said “Andy brings over thirty years of experience in driving economic development in the East Midlands from his role as a Member of Parliament and his engagement with Loughborough University Science Park as well as his tenure with LLEP.”

Andy will work closely with Sarah Windrum also a former LEP Chair, supporting our role as a site of strategic importance for regional and national growth. We are honoured to welcome him to Team MTP!
