South of Scotland Economic Partnership (SOSEP)
The South of Scotland Economic Partnership was established to respond to the economic needs and opportunities of the South of Scotland in advance of the establishment of the new South of Scotland Enterprise agency.
The Partnership, chaired by Professor Russel Griggs OBE, brought together the private, third and further and higher education sectors, as well as the seven key public sector organisations supporting economic development in the South of Scotland.
