The Cumbria Vision Board of Directors

The Board Cumbria Vision has a strong private sector led Board.

The public sector is investing heavily in Cumbria’s regeneration, but ultimately it must be the private sector that will deliver the successful economic regeneration of the County. With this in mind, the composition of the Board seeks to strike an appropriate balance between private and public sectors, but with the majority of Board Members being from commercial backgrounds. Following a Nolan process, the current Board has been selected with an emphasis on the specific skills and attributes that each Director brings. The Board also includes the Chairs of Cumbria's regeneration delivery boards to ensure those priority projects contained in the Cumbria Sub Regional Action Plan become a reality.
