The Wiltshire Strategic Economic Partnership (WSEP) was established on 1st April 2007, having previously been in existence as the Wiltshire and Swindon Economic Partnership.

WSEP promotes the economic well-being of Wiltshire, as defined by the boundaries of Wiltshire Council. Its members are drawn from a range of private, public and third sector organisations and it is chaired by someone from the private sector.

WSEP is a Company Limited by Guarantee, but it is a strategic body without resources of its own to deliver economic development and regeneration activity. Its partners are therefore responsible for taking forward agreed areas of work to develop and improve the economy of Wiltshire.

WSEP interfaces on a strategic basis with regional organisations such as the South West of England Regional Development Agency and the Government Office for the South West, and is a member of South West Stakeholders.  It is part of Wiltshire's Family of Partnerships, headed by the Wiltshire Assembly which is the main place where Wiltshire's organisations come together to decide what needs to happen in order for Wiltshire to build a bright future for itself. WSEP is one of the Assembly's eight Thematic Delivery Partnerships who are responsible for developing strategy and delivery action to achieve the ambitions in the Local Agreement for Wiltshire. The Partnership is responsible, with Wiltshire Council, for overseeing the delivery of the Employment, Economy and Skills Ambition in that Agreement.
