About Us
Cheshire and Warrington is one of the UK’s economic success stories and the most productive economy in the North of England.
Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country.
We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making.
Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit.
ECW leads on the strategic economic development of Cheshire and Warrington as a sub-region and as part of that is responsible for the delivery of a range of Government and other programmes, including the Cheshire and Warrington component of the North West Net Zero Hub (funded by Department for Energy Security and Net Zero).
We have one of the UK’s major industrial clusters based around Ellesmere Port, which is playing an important role in the creation of the UK’s first net zero carbon industrial cluster by 2040, sponsored by the Government’s Industrial Clusters Mission. The NW Cluster Plan sets out a £30 billion pipeline of investment projects covering a range of technologies with the potential to establish this part of the North West as a leader in low and zero carbon energy technology.
And our developing Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Plan, building on our Sustainable and Inclusive Growth Commission, aims to harness the power of the public and private sectors and civil society to contribute to a faster transition to a green and fair economy. We are working closely with our local authorities and other stakeholders to design and develop projects which can deliver on these ambitions.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of who we are and what we do. Our commitment to these values is unwavering and they are central to our mission. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, and we are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you require to apply for the role.
