Very Meh, and More of the Same - Advisory Economic Solutions Employee Review

This is a spin-out from the original NWDA and a lot of the problems persist. Seems to be mates looking after mates in terms of appointments made which means people who are meh at their jobs get appointed on nepotism rather than competency. Draw down a lot of funding but difficult to see where the outcome value of this is, which was similar to the RDA (apart from capital projects). Lot of very busy people here but unsure if that translates into any major value for the Manchester city region. Just seems like a lot of smoke and mirrors.
