In February 2022, the UK government launched its ‘Levelling-up’ white paper, which promised to set out a ‘complete system change of government works that will be implemented to level up the UK’.
The white paper highlights that no single organisation can achieve the merits of true ‘levelling-up’ alone and now.
Peel Ports Group is urging government to embrace a partnership with port and maritime companies to help meet its objectives on levelling-up, net zero and economic growth.
Read Peel Ports’ white paper to explore the role that ports play in levelling up the UK’s economy, supporting much-needed jobs and driving regeneration through investment across our coastal communities.
The report goes on to highlight that the effects on the economy and society from Brexit and COVID have brought supply chains into the public eye as never before, which in turn has resulted in a sharper focus on the essential role of ports, and the maritime industry more widely, acting as an important enabler that underpins the economy.
