It focuses on key themes which connect all of our Oh Yes! members – including growth, skills, innovation, sustainability and energy.

Oh Yes! members are being asked to share their thoughts on the region’s Local Growth Plan.
One key section of the Local Growth Plan focuses on energy, and more specifically, the energy transition.
The plan says: “Hull and East Yorkshire sits at the centre of the UK’s energy and manufacturing economy…
“By aligning clean energy generation, industrial decarbonisation and port modernisation, the region could become the national hub for the energy transition and for advanced, low-carbon production.
“This would anchor thousands of high-value jobs and attract long-term investment into local supply chains.”
We’re urging all of our Oh Yes! members to get involved, complete the consultation, and have your say on the future of Hull and East Yorkshire.
