We are pleased to announce that Wessex Archaeology has joined the Property and Construction sector group for the Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (SCR LEP). The move allows us to be part of the regeneration of Sheffield at ground level, and work with other local businesses on innovative new projects in the local region.
Andrew Norton (Regional Manager, North) attended the September SCR LEP Property and Construction sector group meeting and gave a well-received presentation on commercial archaeology and the unrivalled range of services that Wessex Archaeology provides. Also presenting were Michael Edgar, Director of DLP Planning Consultants and Maria Duffy, Interim Head of Planning at Sheffield City Council. Michael spoke on Sheffield futures, relating to housing, employment and planning and Maria discussed the new local plan for Sheffield – both Maria and Michael discussed the challenges in meeting the increased housing and employment targets for the region.
It is clearly an exciting time to be in Sheffield and we are very grateful to Martin McKervey of Nabarro LLP for inviting Wessex Archaeology to join the sector group.
