Delighted to be joined by Mike Palin from Homes England at our forthcoming FREE learning event ‘Putting the pizzazz in your place’ on Tuesday 13th September 2022 which is for anyone involved in promoting and shaping their place.
Mike is the Executive Director of Markets, Partners and Places after joining Homes England in February 2021 as Interim Director of the Cities and Major Conurbations Team. He is a successful deliverer of economic growth strategies as well as being a leading thinker on how economic growth implementation can fit with broader policy initiatives. His focus is on implementation of strategies to deliver results.
Mike is a former LA Chief Executive, LEP Executive Director and has previously worked in fee earning consultancy. As Chief Executive of St Helens Council he delivered a new economic approach that saw the Borough have the second highest per capita jobs growth in the entire North of England. Mike also gained attraction of over £1/2bn of private sector inward investment, as well as securing Government industrial strategy investment and a major Town Centre investment partner.
As a previous LEP Executive Director he led a Growth Deal process achieving the 9th highest per capita resource allocation in England and then as a Local Government CEX he has been heavily involved in the emergence and negotiation of devolution in England. His unique experience in this field can support clients both in making the case for new resources but also in putting in place systems and processes to ensure successful delivery.
