The North is the new London

Lockdown has seen plenty of city dwellers reconsider their choice to live in the capital – and the same goes for businesses. Even the government has announced that its second base will be housed in nearby Leeds. Insurance giant Hiscox is among the scores of businesses with hubs in York, while national housebuilding heavyweights Persimmon and equipment and instrument retailer Gear4Music are both headquartered there. It’s also home to Nestlé – and on a day with a southerly breeze, the incredible smell of chocolate production makes its way from Clifton to the city centre. Big business mean plenty of opportunities to join exciting companies for any prospective property buyers.

York is nearing the end of its most recent economic strategy (2016-2020), focusing on eight key aims. These are:

• Deliver the York Central Enterprise Zone
• Deliver a Local Plan that supports a high value economy
• Take practical steps to develop and retain talent in the city
• Drive university and research-led business growth in key sectors
• Lobby for investment in key transport networks
• Use local business rate freedoms to drive high value growth
• Make a fresh ‘loud’ statement on cultural and visual identity
• Bring people and businesses together in creative low-cost ways

And while Covid-19 may have put brakes on plans for the local economy, the York & North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership has recently announced its vision for the future with an economic recovery plan.
