A senior executive at BAE Systems has been appointed to chair the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
Steve Fogg, managing director of corporate shared services and a member of the UK management board at the defence giant, has been appointed with immediate effect.
He takes over from Edwin Booth, who had been in the post since the creation of the LEP. He stepped down at the end of 2018 after a seven-year reign which saw the county secure more than £1bn of investment.
