“Having been involved for several years, I know how valuable the work of the partnership is. Championing economic growth in coastal West Sussex is dear to my heart and the agenda of developing skills, infrastructure and connectivity is vital for the future success of the area.”

Inpress Plastics specialises in blow moulding and injection moulding, two techniques of plastic goods production.

Caroline Wood, director of the partnership, said: “If there are any senior business leaders in the coastal West Sussex region that would like to get involved, get in touch.”
