Economy

Leeds is the UK’s fastest growing city with the second largest employment total outside London.

It has one of the most diverse economies of any UK employment centre, and is the nucleus of a ‘city region’ with a population of around 2.8 million.

Named one of the best places in Europe to locate a business by global commercial property consultants Cushman&Wakefield, many major corporations have national or regional headquarters in Leeds.

Its two universities are economic powerhouses driving the city forward, creating a highly skilled workforce and working with business on research and development.

Excellent working opportunities are combined with vibrant local culture, an attractive built and natural environment, and welcoming friendly people, which all provide a fantastic quality of life for young and old alike.
