SUPPLY CHAINS - THE KEY TO
UNLOCKING ECONOMIC GROWTH
It gives me great pleasure to introduce
this issue of Medilink News and its focus
on the supply chain.
Supply chains are key to our City
Regions and are a driver of the
Strategic Economic Plan, which laid the
foundations for the City Deal, the Growth
Deal and the Devolution Deal which
the Sheffield City Region secured with
government. These Deals are significant
because they will enable the City Region
to have a stronger private sector that
can compete in national and global
supply chains.
We have a world class Growth Hub
which has the ability to provide tailored
support for businesses including
business advice and planning, innovation
assistance, access to finance, supportive
infrastructure, skills and development.
The healthcare sector is crucial for our
regional economy and is a sector we
are very active in at Nabarro. We see
many world-class healthcare technology
businesses leading in supply chains
shaped by innovation. We must support
this ‘engine of growth’ and businesses
aspiring to compete in supply chain
opportunities. The development of the
Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre
in Sheffield is the latest example of
the region’s ability to strive for new
opportunities in healthcare technologies.
The City Region has a unique position
as a key B2B supply chain designer
and manufacturer in sectors where we
have particular specialisms such as
healthcare. Our aim is to restructure
the City Region economy towards high
value, knowledge and data led business
activities. Developing the cluster of
activity around our knowledge economy
is key to winning and succeeding in
supply chains.

about the importance of supply chains.
