Organisational History
The Lennox Partnership (TLP) was created in 1988, and re-named in July 2000, as a result of a merger between two Enterprise Trusts operating in West Dunbartonshire. Initially established to support the regeneration of the Clydebank area following the demise of the shipbuilding and heavy engineering sectors. The organisation has evolved over the years, broadening its remit and widening its operational area across Dunbartonshire and more recently into Argyll & Bute and Ayrshire.
TLP is a not for profit economic development company, which provides high quality specialist intermediary support services on behalf of a range of key public sector agencies including Scottish Enterprise Dunbartonshire, Glasgow and Ayrshire, Careers Scotland, Communities Scotland, Jobcentreplus, West Dunbartonshire Community Planning Partnership and West Dunbartonshire Council.
Governed by a predominantly private sector, non executive Board made up of representatives from the local business community, the organisation has two main strands of activity which are reflected in its purpose statement :
"The Lennox Partnership delivers services to enable people to find lasting work, and to make organisations more sustainable"
The TLP Board set out a number of key principles/objectives for the ongoing development of the organisation:
- Securing continuity for existing projects
- Internal development to benefit employees
- Strategic growth to expand its existing project portfolio, turnover and staff compliment
