The Teal Park Development located in North Hykeham on the outskirts of Lincoln is due to be completed by December 2012. The development, which will see Siemens relocate their Lincoln gas turbine business facility to a new building on the site, will attract further business and investment creating thousands of jobs over the next 10 – 15 years. Siemens themselves have recently been awarded a new multimillion pound maintenance contract with an Australian company who use one of the products produced in Lincoln.
Italian engineering company, Bifrangi, recently announced that it is investing ÂŁ50m in the Lincoln forge plant. A new screw press, the first of its kind in England, and one of only a few in the world, will be installed at Lincoln, enabling the business to increase its product range in the power generation, aerospace, civil and military industries. The investment will create opportunities for learners in the engineering sector and expand links with the Engineering School at the University of Lincoln.

Ten Year Horizon ‘Working Futures is the most detailed and comprehensive set of UK labour market projections available,’ says its authors R. A. Wilson and K. Homenidou of the Institute for Employment Research. Working Futures focuses on a ten year horizon, providing a picture of the labour market for 2020.
Key projections include: •
It is expected that employment will rise slowly but steadily over the decade as a whole, driven by a significant increase in population levels.
•
Private sector services are projected to be the greatest contributor to employment growth around 1½ million additional jobs by 2020.
•
Wider job openings created by people who leave the labour market through retirement and/or for family reasons (so called replacement demand) are projected to generate almost 8 times as many openings (i.e.12 million) over the period, equivalent to almost two fifths of current employment.
•
This dwarfs the level of anticipated new jobs. In industries and occupations in which the level of employment is expected to decline, such as the manufacturing sector and skilled manual occupations, there will still be job opportunities for appropriately skilled individuals created through this avenue.
roles including trade occupations and process, plant and machine operatives but these will be offset to a degree by replacement demand. 400,000 such manual jobs are expected to disappear between 2010 and 2020. There is expected to be an increase of more than 300,000 jobs in caring, personal and other service occupations (+10%) and 100,000 (+3%) in lowskilled elementary jobs between 2010 and 2020, again mostly in service-based areas. Low-skilled jobs are expected to be a major source of job creation in sectors like hospitality and care of the young and elderly. This report provides an overview of UK labour market projections and does not necessarily mirror what will happen in your local area. For information on Lincolnshire’s important and growing sectors see www.teeninfolincs.co.uk. www.ukces.org.uk/assets/bispartners/ukces/docs/publications/evidencereport-41-working-futures-2010-2020.pdf
Looking ahead A March 2012 survey shows Lincolnshire businesses are much more optimistic about their prospects for the coming year. In comparison to last year over 10% more businesses expect turnover and profitability to grow in 2012. This optimism is reflected in higher than previous numbers of businesses, albeit from a low base, saying they intend to revise upwards their planned investment in both plant and training.
•
Manufacturing is projected to maintain its share of total output but to exhibit a falling share of employment between 2010 and 2020.
•
Manufacturing is expected to remain an important sector in terms of its economic significance, playing a critical role in terms of the UK’s balance of trade.
However, it is clear that Lincolnshire’s businesses still face difficult times. Many businesses are still operating below full capacity and are under pressure to increase prices due to the cost of raw materials and finance.
•
There is expected to be a continued trend of employment growth in higher skilled, white collar occupations, including managers, professionals and associate professional roles, providing the most significant increases - around 2 million additional jobs in these occupations by 2020.
Despite these challenges businesses continue to recruit and to support employment and training of young people. Results show 10% of firms surveyed intend to take on apprentices for the first time this year whilst 13% say they will increase apprenticeship numbers.
•
Continuing sharp declines in employment are expected for skilled and semi-skilled manual

I’ve been deeply touched by both the quality and creativity of the bids... Mary Portas
The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership has welcomed the news that Market Rasen has been selected from more than 370 applications to become a Portas Pilot town Market Rasen will receive a£100k grant to help secure the future of its town centre after the Business Improvement Group in Market Rasen applied to be a pilot.
A Government statement said:
It was one of 12 towns awarded grants in the first phase of the Portas Pilot scheme .
“The pilot will help the area draw customers in by bringing pride back to the local area and restoring the market town look. The Town Team plans to blitz the unkempt areas of the town and work with landlords to tackle empty shops.
David Dexter, Deputy Chair of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “Many Lincolnshire towns and villages are faring well during the recession and we aren’t seeing as many empty retail premises as in other parts of the UK. “But some communities have identified the need for extra help to support their retailers and it’s fantastic to hear that Market Rasen has been selected to be one of the Portas Pilots. “It’s a real shot in the arm for the town and hopefully other retail centres will be able to take positive lessons from the experience too.” Local Government Minister Grant Shapps praised the exceptional quality of the winning bids, each of which will receive a slice of £1.2 million and a tailored package of support from both the Government and retail guru Mary Portas.
“Market Rasen High street often sees people pass through the town on their way to local sporting events, from the races to rugby, but few stop in to visit the shops.
“They will advertise the local free parking and revitalise the market with stallholder demonstrations. Local shops will be encouraged to open stalls and a mentoring scheme will be put in place for new businesses to start on a market stall and work their way up to a high street store.” Mary Portas said: “I’ve been deeply touched by both the quality and creativity of the bids and the momentum Britain’s first Town Teams have generated in just a few short weeks. “It is now clearer to me than ever that Britain wants its town centres revitalised and the energy and accountability for that needs to rest with the people who live and do business there.”

Greater Lincolnshire LEP Local labour market news Leading the Way at National Lincolnshire Economic Survey 2012 The survey was completed during the first quarter of Conference Ursula Lidbetter MBE, Chairman of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership, was one of only five LEP representatives to be asked to speak at the LEP Network annual conference in London on Thursday 26th April. The event was attended by Justine Greening MP, Secretary of State for Transport, the Business Secretary Dr Vince Cable MP, Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, and Mark Prisk MP, the Business and Enterprise Minister. Miss Lidbetter used the platform to tell delegates how the Greater Lincolnshire LEP is working well with all the local authorities to utilise their resources rather than duplicate them. “I set out our aim to create the conditions for business growth and Greater Lincolnshire’s priority sectors of manufacturing, agri-food, the visitor economy, renewables, port and logistics and care,” she said. “There was support for my suggestion that rather than wait for the Government to give us funds for initiatives devised in Whitehall, we should decide on our priorities and help the Government to shape the funds so that they meet real needs.” The audience heard about Greater Lincolnshire’s success in promoting the Eastern Relief Road for Lincoln and the A180 link road in Immingham and in helping to secure £14.3 million for better broadband. Miss Lidbetter concluded her address with a challenge to Government to ensure sufficient accountability for money given to LEPs and urged the Government to put a small amount of resource into LEPs to ensure they can deliver real economic growth. “Mr Pickles particularly asked to hear more about the Greater Lincolnshire LEP’s work to improve the planning process by bring developers, planners and utility companies and other public bodies together,” said Miss Lidbetter.a

2012. This survey captured the views of some 103 respondents. Key findings: •
•
• • • •
The majority of respondents anticipate an increase in turnover in the next twelve months. A majority anticipate profit margins to improve. Those planning to increase staff substantially outstrip those looking to decrease their headcount. The survey suggests an emphasis on cost constraint with only 34% of businesses looking at increasing pay levels. Nearly half of the businesses anticipate a rise in their selling prices. There is some support for the coalition Government, with only 17% of respondents seeing economic policy as being too harsh. The banks do not get quite the negative feedback one might expect however, their willingness to lend is seen as central to the recovery of the UK economy.
There is some good news for Lincolnshire with a clear majority seeing it as being a good place to start a business. The Lincolnshire Economic Survey 2012
5 Agriculture, horticulture and food Lincolnshire is the jewel in the UK Food Industry’s crown. No other county can match it for the richness, versatility and fertility of its soils. It has the greatest proportion of Grade 1 land in England from which it produces more fresh produce than any other county and has world class packing and processing businesses to match. From cereals to daffodils, from vitamin packed potatoes to health preserving cauliflowers, from pigs and sheep to Lincoln Red beef, from delicious sausages to plum bread, the quality and flavour of Lincolnshire’s produce is superb. Also its high productivity and ideal central position results in as low a food ‘carbon footprint’ as you will find in the UK. Food and Farming is estimated to contribute £1 billion to the economy of the county. In terms of both value and employment the sector is the third biggest in Lincolnshire.

Higher Education applications fall by less than feared UCAS has published the latest applicant data for entry to full-time undergraduate higher education in 2012. •
UCAS Chief Executive Mary Curnock Cook said: ‘There has been a headline drop of 7.4% in applicants with a slightly larger fall in England…’
•
‘The more detailed analysis of application rates for young people takes account of population changes. This shows a fall of just 1% in the application rate in England, with little change across the rest of the UK.’
•
‘Decreases in demand are slightly larger in more advantaged groups than in the disadvantaged groups. Widely expressed concerns about recent changes in HE funding arrangements having a disproportionate effect on more disadvantaged groups are not borne out by these data.’
•
Although applications are down for mature applicants, this is in the context of some very substantial increases in recent cycles. Applications from mature groups are also set against a backdrop of increasingly higher HE participation rates at their school leaving age.’
The indications are that demand for HE will continue to outstrip the number of places available in 2012. Applications are already 50,000 ahead of the number of acceptances in 2011 and last year UCAS received over 100,000 further applications between January and the close of the cycle.

A new £13 million water park is to be built at Butlin’s Skegness resort. It will replace current facility “The Splash” and is set to open in February 2013 as part of an ongoing programme at the holiday park, which was opened in 1936. An artist’s impression of the new £13 million water park due to be completed at Butlin’s Skegness by February 2013. The project is being funded by Bourne Leisure which owns the site and represents the biggest single investment at the resort for 13 years. Chris Baron, Resort Director said: “We have been planning this for the last year or so. “The Splash is always one of the most popular attractions in our customer satisfaction surveys but it is 25 years old now and we wanted one of the best water parks in England”. Extra lifeguards will be employed once the facility is opened, creating job opportunities for local people. The contract to build the water park has been awarded to Simons Construction of Lincoln and it is estimated that around 100 people will be working on the construction. Tourism bosses have welcomed news of the multimillion pound investment. Justin Brown, Head of Enterprise at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “Tourism is an important part of the Lincolnshire economy”. “Hopefully this substantial investment will attract even more holidaymakers to the area, providing a valuable boost for all local businesses.”

Work-Based Learning Celebrated at Awards Ceremony. The Lincolnshire and Rutland Skills Awards took place on Thursday 19th April, celebrating the successful commitment of individuals and organisations passionate about learning and skills development. Teenagers and young people were applauded for their achievements in Young Apprentice and Apprentice of the Year categories throughout a wide range of industrial sectors, while the enduring advantages of apprenticeships were proven through the Alumni Category. Schools and employers were recognised for their contribution to proactive schemes of learning, with many tales of personal growth and support being told to a large and appreciative audience. With more applications than ever to consider, the judging proved to be ‘both a success and a challenge’, according to Geoff Middleton, Chairman of the Lincolnshire and Rutland Work Based Academy. Herman Kok, Chairman of the Lincolnshire and Rutland Employment and Skills Board, said: “Our organisation is proud to support the celebration of the fantastic efforts and successes achieved by employer-sponsored learning in Lincolnshire and Rutland. This type of education/skills based learning deserves a much wider public recognition and the annual Skills Awards are an excellent way in which to promote its achievements”. The Awards celebration is made possible through support from a range of local organisations who work together to raise awareness of the outstanding achievements of learners, employers, schools and training providers.
