LOCAL FIRMS SECURE FUNDING


A carpet recycling plant near Higham Ferrers, a cultural hub in Kettering and a gallery redevelopment in Northampton town centre are set to receive funding from the Government’s new £900m Getting Building Fund (GBF). The funding is for local,


ready to start, infrastructure projects and is designed to stimulate jobs and support economic recovery across the country. The South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP), which covers Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes, and Northamptonshire, has been allocated £27.3m of the pot - more than £7.7m of which has been allocated to fund three projects in Northamptonshire. Hilary Chipping, SEMLEP


chief executive, said: “We are delighted to have secured more than £27m from Government to support the economic recovery from Covid-19 in this area. These projects will support key priorities including skills for young people, the green recovery and innovation, which all generate jobs.” All the projects are due to


start in December and be completed by early 2022. SEMLEP will carry out due diligence on each of the projects this year. Northamptonshire projects set to receive funding:


• Innovate Recycle, East Northamptonshire, awarded £2.35m.


• GLaM (Kettering Gallery, Library and Museum), Kettering, awarded £3m.


• Rockingham Clean Energy Hub, Corby, Northamptonshire, awarded £1,195,000.


• NN Contemporary Gallery Relocation & Renovation, Northampton, awarded £1.2m.


Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce has announced that its interim chief executive will continue in the role until late 2021. Louise Wall (pictured),


commercial director of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, was appointed on an interim basis in June and she has accepted the board’s offer of continuing in the role until the end of next year. Louise will remain in that role at


the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce while leading the team in Northamptonshire after the previous chief executive left to pursue other opportunities. She said: “I have thoroughly


enjoyed the past two months getting to know the team at the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce. It is clear that there is an extremely dedicated group of


people here who are serving the members of this Chamber on a daily basis, particularly through these extremely difficult times. “It was important to me that I


maintain my role in Coventry and Warwickshire too because this is very much about helping a neighbouring Chamber through these unprecedented times before

and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce for its support too.”
