Business town
In Dewsbury, and across Kirklees as a whole, we're committed to championing our existing town centre businesses and encouraging new start-ups. Through the Dewsbury Blueprint, we're aiming to encourage a vibrant and creative economy by supporting businesses in the town centre and beyond.
Dewsbury is perfectly placed, with excellent transport links to Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield, the rest of the north and beyond - and without the drawback of those city centre prices.
If you're interested in basing your business in Dewsbury, you can find out more through our Business Kirklees team.
We are currently developing the Dewsbury Market and Dewsbury Arcade, both of which will offer exciting new opportunities for quality traders.
If you would like to express your interest in trading from the Dewsbury Arcade, which will reopen for summer 2025, contact the Arcade Group .
If you'd like to find out more about trading at Dewsbury Market, or one of our other markets across Kirklees, please contact our markets team at markets@kirklees.gov.uk.

Dewsbury's excellent transport links - including easy access to the M1 and M62, a busy bus station, and rail routes direct to Leeds and Manchester - makes it an ideal and affordable base for commuters.
These connections are only set to improve over the coming years through upgrades to local road networks, and new infrastructure for public transport, pedestrians and cyclists. This includes the multibillion-pound Transpennine Route Upgrade .
We've partnered with several prominent broadband providers to make sure our town centres have the best possible connectivity, meaning any Dewsbury-based businesses will benefit from high-speed full fibre connection.
