One of the region's most influential property professionals has
been appointed to head up the Invest Liverpool City Region (ILCR)
Partnership Taskforce.
Colin Sinclair, Chief Executive of Knowledge Quarter Liverpool
and Sciontec Developments Limited, has been unveiled as Chair of
the Taskforce which brings together senior representatives from
local authorities, the private sector and key stakeholders to
ensure a joined-up approach to attracting, securing and
delivering inward investment.
It also plays a critical role in shaping and delivering the
Liverpool City Region Capital and Real Estate Investment
Programme.
Colin is a prominent figure in the region's innovation and
investment landscape and has been instrumental in driving major
regeneration initiatives, positioning the city region as a global
destination for science, health, education and technology.
Colin said: “The Liverpool City Region has an extraordinary
investment story to tell, and I am honoured to chair the ILCR
Partnership Taskforce at such a pivotal moment.
“I am confident that we can deliver a new strategy which
ensures that the city region will build on its successes to date
and use its enormous development potential to attract investment
that will not only boost the economy, but create collaborative
and inclusive opportunities which leave a positive legacy for
generations to come.
“Our collective ambition is to ensure the region is not
only visible on the global stage but competes successfully for
investment that drives inclusive growth.
“Investment doesn't just happen – you have to win it, and
we are ready to do exactly that.”
In his new capacity as Chair, Colin will lead the Taskforce in
providing strategic oversight for the programme and ensuring the
region's £11 billion investment opportunity is showcased to
global audiences.
Members of the Taskforce contribute sector-specific expertise and
play a key role in positioning the city region as a prime
location for sustainable and impactful development.
Leader of Halton Borough Council and Liverpool City
Region Combined Authority Cabinet Member for Business, Investment
and Trade, Cllr Mike Wharton said:
“I warmly welcome Colin as the chair of the Taskforce. With
his excellent track record in attracting investment, bringing
forward regeneration projects and his passion for innovation and
inclusivity he is the right person to take us forward and help
