case for significant investment in key transport priorities and further devolution deals for the North, to challenging for a better deal for the most disadvantaged from the education system, his team are focused on how government, business and partners can drive the North’s ambitions.\nBefore joining the Partnership, he worked in senior research and policy roles in policing and financial services,
