Invest in Kirklees

At the heart of the Northern Powerhouse.

Invest in Kirklees

Kirklees sits at the centre of the Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield City Region triangle placing it within easy access of the North's major cities, towns and transport infrastructure. With an annual economy worth around £7.5bn, access to a market of over 7 million people within a 1 hour drive, and over 300,000 highly-skilled university students right on our doorstep, Kirklees is a great place to invest and do business.

Our impressive industrial heritage, quality schools and colleges, and a unique mix of thriving town centres, picturesque countryside and iconic villages, make Kirklees a place widely recognised for its quality of life.

Home to the globally respected University of Huddersfield, it is a district that has constantly evolved with business, entrepreneurship and innovation at its core. World renowned for its strengths in advanced manufacturing, textiles and precision engineering, the district is now also emerging as a location for pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, and creative and digital industries.

With the recent launch of the Huddersfield and Dewsbury 'Blueprints' the Council have set out ambitious new plans which could see almost £500m invested over the next 10 years to transform the district's two key urban centres. And with a further £70m already being invested into Gigabit Fibre infrastructure across the district, it is a place that is building for the future.

Put simply, there has never been a more exciting time to live, work and invest in Kirklees.
