Welcome to the South Wiltshire Economic Partnership (SWEP) website
SWEP is a partnership between business and private and public sector organisations that focuses on the development of a strong and sustainable economy in south Wiltshire for the benefit of local business competitiveness.
We work in partnership with others to drive forward the growth of the south Wiltshire economy by supporting existing businesses and other organisations and by attracting inward investment.
By providing the local business community with a single voice on economic development issues we also work to influence all levels of government and to provide a focus for the delivery of strategic change.
