Coming all the way from Japan, our M20 arrived on Thursday, August 13. There’s no doubt the weather could have been kinder to us on the day, but the little matter of a torrential downpour wasn't going to hold us back. Through a great team effort, we succeeded with the delicate process of negotiating entry to the building through a side roller-door and manoeuvred the machine safely to its permanent site. The next morning saw the electrical installation and air-line links established. Completion of...

Cluster  Manager

As a sign of West Sussex County Council’s commitment  to the West Sussex Health and Life Science sector, the County Council has appointed a dedicated person to work with the cluster and take forward our plans and initiatives. Rachael Merriman will look after the cluster and will continue the excellent engagement work that KPMG have begun.

At the event we committed to progressing a number of immediate opportunities…

The Growth Hub

The Accelerator-  there has been significant progress with this exciting initiative!

An accelerator is an intensive programme offered to highly promising start-ups, following a competitive selection process, designed to prepare them to be funding ready. It is a quick and exciting model to support start-up growth. We are currently at a stage to put out a call for Venture Capital Partners. For further information on this initiative please click on this link.

Regulatory Services- for an update on our work into regulatory provision please click here.

Workforce and Skills

We have had a number of highly positive conversations with our innovative local universities. We are looking for ways to increase collaboration and  improve links between the universities and the sector. At present we are in conversation about several initiatives including : Real Life Projects; Placements; Seminars and Guest Speakers.

We are currently preparing to present the cluster with specific offers on these opportunities. In the meantime you can click here to read a little bit more about the thinking behind these initiatives.

A date for your diary!!

Many of you will already be familiar with, or be involved in the excellent STEMfest and Big Bang events in the county. Currently there is comparatively less activity in the coastal area. A number of partners have agreed to address this, and will be hosting a Big Bang @ Butlins, Bognor Regis event on 3rd March 2016 which will give young people from local schools the opportunity to engage with local STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) employers through inspiring and interactive engineering and science events.  The event will showcase local employer career opportunities through a range of interactive activities and workshops delivered for schools during February and March that forms part of a wider Coastal STEMfest. 

Critical to bringing the Coastal STEMfest to life will be the involvement of local businesses. We will shortly be inviting you to an informative evening in November to provide more details and give you the fantastic opportunity to get involved.

The Cold Chain Initiative

For an update on the cold chain please click here.

Your input is crucial to the success of the cluster and we welcome any feedback or suggestions. We will be back in touch soon!

Tim Loughton Parliamentary Newsletter -

September 2015

Dear Constituent  

Welcome to my September newsletter.
 
Parliament is not sitting during the party conference season and will return fully on October 12^th.

The news locally has of course been dominated by the terrible tragedy at the Shoreham Air Show and the loss of 11 lives. I will not repeat the extensive coverage of the events of the last few weeks and I have written about the aftermath of the accident on my website. As I have said on numerous occasions now, if there was one crumb of comfort from the whole sad story it has been the professionalism of the emergency services doing their work in such harrowing conditions. Added to that, the way the local community rallied round to show that we share the grief of the victim's families and just wanted to help was truly impressive and humbling. I have been prouder than ever to represent the people of East Worthing & Shoreham in recent weeks.  I was grateful to have the opportunity to be able to raise this at a debate in Parliament on September 8^th. You can read my speech and the response from Transport Minister Claire Perry here: http://goo.gl/P9Wd7x,
