Earlier this year a new business partnership was formed, bringing together the Adur Economic Partnership and the Worthing Economic Development and Regeneration Partnership. The Adur and Worthing Business Partnership brings together key businesses, colleges and groups such as the Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses.

In its first year this partnership is being led by Andrew Swayne of Ricardo, with the next Partnership meeting being charged with establishing its delivery plan for the coming year. This partnership will provide key support for business and education and play an important role in achieving the objectives set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy – Waves Ahead.
