“The Hertfordshire Growth Board is delighted to be supporting Let’s Keep the Heart in Hertfordshire, a campaign to showcase the very best of our county and support its economic recovery following an uncertain 18 months.

“Sustainable growth must be at the heart of all we do as we look to the future. Our priority is to meet the needs of Hertfordshire’s people; by supporting the development of high quality, low carbon housing, contributing to connected communities and protecting our precious natural environment, we can ensure the county remains a great place to live, work and learn.

“Our county is already recognised as a great place to do business, with a number of leading national and international businesses calling Hertfordshire home. To ensure this continues, it is vital we continue to attract investment to drive economic recovery and growth, and create job opportunities by showcasing Hertfordshire as the county of opportunity for all.”

“I am very pleased to support the ‘Let’s Keep the Heart in Hertfordshire’ campaign run by Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce. All local businesses have had to respond to changing guidance throughout the pandemic and have shown incredible resilience as they adapted their services to keep our communities safe. It is crucial that we all do our bit to support our local businesses to get back on their feet as we return to normality.

Our high streets and local businesses are at the heart of our communities. This campaign will help to show the rest of the country the fantastic businesses and people that we have in our beautiful county.”

“I’m delighted to support the Let’s Keep the Heart in Hertfordshire campaign. It’s been a very difficult time for our business community and I’ve been so impressed with the creativity and resilience businesses have demonstrated over the past year and more. Now we can look beyond the pandemic and towards recovery and renewal, and this is a very positive campaign to ensure that our wonderful county of Hertfordshire is at the very heart of that.”
