The Sheffield City Region comprises the Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA), the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and the SCR Executive Team.
Many things that help unlock economic growth, such as transport, skills, infrastructure and business growth support are often best delivered at a wider level than individual local councils, but at a smaller level than national government. This is why we work together across a number of local council areas to support economic growth. Private sector leadership is also critical to the success of the local economy and the Sheffield City Region brings together public and private sector leaders to make decisions that drive economic growth and create new jobs.

At Sheffield City Region, our people are our greatest asset and we are committed to fairness, equality and inclusion. Although our workforce has fewer than 250 employees, which means we have no legal requirement to report on our gender pay gap, we have voluntarily chosen to report our gender pay gap using pay data taken on 31 March 2018. This information will form a key part of our work to build greater equality across a more diverse workforce. The results will help us to better understand and focus on the relevant issues, and we will hold ourselves to account, as we continue to plan and take actions to improve on our current position.
