Following the publication of our Strategic Economic Plan, Gatwick 360°, we commissioned or worked with partners on a number of further research projects. This will provide a more comprehensive evidence base for our Local Industrial Strategy (LIS).
Below is an explanation of each piece of research. You can find the final research reports in the Related Resources section on the right hand side of this page.
