'OxLEP highlights its major impact in Oxfordshire via latest report, including hundreds of businesses supported and millions of pounds-worth of levy retained for the county' Looking back on significant outcomes delivered by OxLEP throughout the 2023/24 financial year – and brought to life by a host of case studies featuring those organisations and people benefiting from its programmes – the ‘Driving Investment and Sustainable Growth for Oxfordshire’ (DISGO) report highlights the role OxLEP has played in leveraging and enhancing the prospects of businesses and communities in Oxfordshire. During the 12 months highlighted in the report, we've announced that overall, OxLEP supported almost 1,800 businesses, provided over 2,800 hours of support and retained millions of pounds-worth of apprenticeship levy for the county – investment that would have otherwise been lost to Oxfordshire. The report also highlights that, since its launch in 2011, OxLEP has now supported, monitored and completed a host of Local Growth Fund and Getting Building Fund projects, worth almost half a billion pounds.
