Who We Are

The SWLEP is the Local Enterprise Partnership for Swindon and Wiltshire, established by Central Government in July 2011 as a private sector led partnership between local businesses, Swindon Borough Council, Wiltshire Council, the military and the education sector. We are a highly competitive economy ranked 12th out of the 38 LEPs in England. By 2026, we want Swindon and Wiltshire to be renowned for innovation, entrepreneurialism and great quality of life.
