East Midlands MEP visits Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership

East Midlands Conservative MEP Emma McClarkin visited Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership (NEP) recently, at the invite of their Chairman, John Markham.

Mr Markham had previously met Miss McClarkin in Brussels, and invited her to visit their headquarters at Enterprise House in Northamptonshire, where she also met with Jo Lappin, the NEP’s Chief Executive.

During their meeting, they discussed the NEP’s extensive contacts with local businesses, and how to increase their visibility in Europe, to help increase the links between the EU and businesses in the county.

Afterwards, Miss McClarkin said:

“It was a pleasure to meet with John and Jo today, to discuss the important role the NEP plays in promoting Northants businesses in Europe.

“It’s clear that they do well in promoting Northamptonshire in Europe, and I very am happy to work with them in any way I can to help them further improve relations and get the best opportunities for Northamptonshire businesses.”

Jo Lappin said:

“Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership very much welcomed Miss McClarkin’s visit to our offices, as we recognise that working with our MEPs provides an important opportunity to promote Northamptonshire’s businesses in Europe. The NEP Team look forward to working with Miss McClarkin to develop these opportunities.”
