Coalitions: Supporting the secretariat of the East of England APPG

Client: East of England APPG

Services: Coalitions, Secretariat Services

Year: 2025 - present

The Brief

The East of England APPG brings together parliamentarians, businesses, education institutions and other key stakeholders to provide a unified voice for the region in Westminster.<br /> Inflect supports the APPG to create a forum where partners from across the East of England can engage with MPs, discuss shared policy priorities and ensure the issues affecting the region are heard by decision makers.

The Work

As Secretariat, Inflect manages a year-round programme of meetings focused on policy areas that matter to the APPG’s partners and the wider region.

We bring together MPs from across the political spectrum with businesses, universities and regional organisations, giving partners an opportunity to contribute directly to policy discussions and build relationships with parliamentarians they may not otherwise engage with.

The APPG is supported by 15 regional sponsors: British Sugar, London Stansted Airport, Local Government East, East of England Energy Group, Luton Rising, Freeport East, The UK Innovation Corridor, England’s Economic Heartland, Sizewell C, BuildEast, Bromford Flagship LiveWest, Transport East, Pigeon, AtkinsRéalis and Anglian Water.

We also work with the APPG’s academic partners, the University of Essex, University of Cambridge, University of East Anglia and Anglia Ruskin University, and its business partners, Chambers East, CBI, Institute of Directors and Federation of Small Businesses.

This broad coalition helps ensure the APPG’s programme reflects priorities from across sectors and across the region.

The Impact

The APPG provides a consistent cross-party platform for the East of England in Westminster, strengthening relationships between regional stakeholders and MPs and giving partners a direct voice in discussions on the policy issues that matter to them.
