South Yorkshire has established itself as an appealing location for investment
in the UK. The region is home to a variety of high profile companies such as
HSBC, BBraun, Abbey, Virgin Media, Corus, Royal Bank of Scotland, Aon, Ufi Learndirect
and The Home Office, to name but a few.
There are many reasons why companies choose South Yorkshire as a base for their
business. Centrally located in the heart of the UK, it provides fast and easy
access to major UK and European cities and the new international airport offers
a gateway to the global marketplace.
Its locality also provides access to a skilled workforce. The two Sheffield Universities
create 12,000 graduates a year and there is a recruitment pool of 1.3 million
people (of working age) within one hour’s drive of South Yorkshire.
The region is transforming thanks to significant funding for regeneration and
now offers a range of high quality sites and premises which are, in turn, attracting
a range of world-class companies.
The region of South Yorkshire is composed of the three towns of Barnsley, Doncaster
and Rotherham and the City of Sheffield. Click on the links below to find out
