There are some significant opportunities ahead for local government as it looks to build back better, post-pandemic. Supporting local government to deliver for their communities is something that we at Enterprise Ireland and Irish businesses, who have created over 125,000 jobs in Britain, are fully committed to, and we are proud to already be supporting many local authorities across the UK. 

As councils look to rebuild their local economy in the wake of the pandemic, they are facing considerable challenges. With a private sector very much in recovery mode, grappling with both the economic after-shocks of the pandemic and Brexit, many UK businesses are delaying big decisions around expansion until there is more certainty around the long-term economic outlook.
