The North East, a region in Britain that played a significant role in the Industrial Revolution, faces significant challenges in comparison to other parts of the country. While wealth was generated from coal, steel, and engineering during this period, the North East has struggled to keep up with the pace of progress seen in Southern England. One of the key factors contributing to this disparity is the region's reliance on public sector services, which are expected to be particularly impacted by Britain's exit from the European Union.

In response to these challenges, Northumbria University has launched a new research and activities initiative aimed at shaping the future of public sector management in the North East. The initiative, titled "The North East after Brexit," seeks to address the region's economic, social, and political challenges by exploring how public sector agencies can work together more effectively.

The project will focus on a range of new themes and governance issues, including how public sector agencies can collaborate to shape the Northern economy, bridge the gap between north and south, and address the impact of Brexit and austerity on public services. The North East is a key partner in the Northern Powerhouse, a initiative designed to rebalance the northern economy and promote economic growth in the region. The project will contribute to debates surrounding employment changes and policy directions in a post-Brexit world, and will be of interest to policy makers, government researchers, and those working in the fields of public sector leadership and management.

The initiative is led by Joyce Liddle, Professor of Public Leadership and Enterprise at Newcastle Business School, Northumbria University, and John Shutt, Professor of Public Policy and Management. Both experts have extensive experience in the field of public sector management and have contributed to shaping policy and practice in the region.

In conclusion, the North East after Brexit represents a significant opportunity for the region to address its challenges and shape its future. Through collaborative research and activities, Northumbria University is working to promote better public sector management and promote economic growth in the North East. The project will contribute to debates surrounding Brexit and austerity and will be of interest to policy makers, government researchers, and those working in the fields of public sector leadership and management.
