Dame Kate Barker, who leads the Commission said: “The differences in economic performance across the Combined Authority area are clear.

“John’s experience brings not just knowledge of East Cambridge but also operations across Fenland, and this will be instrumental in developing a robust view of the whole region.”

Mr Shropshire said: “The recent Industrial Strategy and Science and Innovation Audit has strongly focused on agriculture and AgriTech.

“Being able to leverage our existing expertise at G’s Fresh across the broader region, as well as raise the potential of a new cluster for the region is very exciting.
