The Croydon Enterprise programme was developed after an extensive consultation with local people and businesses.  It is a partnership between the council, businesses and many local organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Our vision Our strategy

Turning Vision into Reality

To ensure that we reach all sections of our target communities, we have broken the programme down into manageable proportions – these are our DELIVERY THEMES. Details of the projects within these themes have been developed by Croydon business people, and other professionals.

Our Delivery Themes

Latent and potential entrepreneurs Business retention and inward investments
Business Creation and Business Growth Capital projects

Making it Happen

Management and governance Communications
Targets and evaluation Delivery principles and procurement

Equalities

Our target areas are those of highest deprivation in the borough.  The programme includes additional programmes to target key groups that suffer particular economic disadvantage, such as lone parents, people with disabilities and people from BME communities.
