Hull City Council has been shortlisted for the prestigious Local Government Chronicle (LGC) Awards 2025. The council’s ‘Invest Hull – supporting business growth’ submission is a finalist in the Economic Development category. The council demonstrated the success of its UK Shared Prosperity Fund scheme in supporting local businesses to grow and was said to have demonstrated outstanding practice as well as cutting-edge innovations as part of its bid. The Invest Hull team will submit its final presentation of its work ahead of live judging in London on Friday 28 March. The LGC Awards 2025 will take place in Grosvenor House, London, on Wednesday 11 June, where the Invest Hull team will discover if it has been victorious. Success would mean a second victory at the awards, having previously won the Driving Growth category in 2019 after employment in Hull reached its highest level on record. Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, the council’s portfolio holder for regeneration, said: “This shortlisting is testament to the fantastic work our Invest Hull team has done and continues to do. “We have seen countless examples of how it supports our local businesses through various methods and I hope the team is recognised by winning the category at the awards in June.”

Hull’s Oh Yes Net Zero campaign has been showcased alongside globally significant climate action initiatives at a major international conference. Oh Yes! Net Zero joined delegates from the C40 Cities organisation – a global network of almost 100 cities united to confront the climate crisis – at Smart City Expo in Barcelona. Hull’s climate model was showcased at Smart City Expo alongside initiatives driven forward in cities such as Buenos Aires, Lisbon, Montreal, Oslo and Barcelona. Billed as the world’s largest forum for smart city innovation, the event featured 25,000 attendees, from 850-plus cities across the globe, with 1,100 exhibitors and 600 speakers, ranging from government leaders, to global experts and opinion formers. Oh Yes! Net Zero was highlighted as a business-led example of a city driving action to combat climate change, with a key focus on the campaign’s work to bring companies and organisations of all sizes together to collaborate and reduce their carbon emissions. The Founding Partners of Oh Yes! Net Zero are global health, hygiene and nutrition leader Reckitt, which was founded in Hull; Hull City Council; the University of Hull; and place marketing organisation Future Humber. Steve Hill, Oh Yes! Net Zero Project Manager, said: “By adopting a place-based approach which brings together businesses large and small, Oh Yes! Net Zero has been identified as a globally significant model of how organisations can work together to reduce their carbon footprint. “We know that, for many businesses, getting started on the route to net zero can be a major hurdle to overcome. Through knowledge sharing and collaboration, we’ve helped dozens of companies create and implement effective carbon reduction plans. “We were excited to share what has already been achieved through Oh Yes! Net Zero, and our learnings from both the successes and challenges faced by members, at Smart City Expo in Barcelona. “In sharing Oh Yes! Net Zero’s story, we hope to help other cities and places across the world on their own paths to net zero.” Mr Hill attended the event in Barcelona with Peter Edwards, Reckitt’s Global Public Policy and Stakeholder Management Director. The pair presented Oh Yes! Net Zero and its work to an audience of smart city and climate leaders from across the world, and discussed Hull’s success as a City Business Climate Alliance (CBCA) which is actively working to reduce its environmental impact.
