The Future of Shaping Portsmouth

on 09 August 2019.

Stef 2017-04 It is with enormous excitement and pride that I can announce some significant changes to the Shaping Portsmouth team and organisation to allow us to further support and serve the City in all that we do and will do going forward.

I have had the privilege of being the Director of Shaping since January 2017 and in that time we have seen the number of Programmes, we are responsible for, grow and the value we have delivered through our Partners and our wonderful Volunteers increase significantly.

But the pace of change and the need to support key programmes in the City is also increasing and we need to stay ahead of that need if we are to achieve the aim to make Portsmouth Britain's premier waterfront technology and innovation city and also a great place to invest, learn, live, work and visit where it is also the most attractive place to start, grow and move your business to. These are the aims of the draft City plan and a set of aims that we totally endorse and support.
