The proposal put forward by the 2010-15 coalition government, and backed by new Prime Minister Theresa May, intends to back business growth across the North of England.

This includes investment in transport, backing for science and infrastructure schemes, as well as cultural and sports funding, particularly in the 'core cities' of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle.

Chief secretary to the Treasury, David Gauke, said: "We are determined to create a Northern Powerhouse and are clear we must work closely with businesses to pool the abundance of talent across the North to make this a reality.

"Today dozens of bold businesses are sending a clear message by joining us in this quest to make the Northern Powerhouse an even better place to live, work and invest in."
