We want our region to be recognised globally as a strong, successful economy
where everyone can build great businesses, careers and lives. To do this, we
unlock the Leeds City Region’s vast economic potential by enabling businesses to
grow and develop. We work with partners across the public and private sectors
with the goal of stimulating growth that will create jobs and prosperity for
everyone who lives, works and does business here. We develop strategy and policy
aimed at meeting both the current and the future needs of our region's economy.
We also deliver projects that support businesses and accelerate growth. Our work
covers the West Yorkshire local authority areas of Bradford, Calderdale,
Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. Working with the West Yorkshire Combined
Authority, we manage a number of programmes that are delivered over a wider
geography, including our Leeds City Region Growth Deal-funded projects, business
support and our efforts to boost trade and inward investment. We also work in
close partnership with our neighbouring local enterprise partnerships and our
partner councils in Barnsley, Craven, Harrogate, Selby and York to ensure our
work has the greatest possible benefits for the economy and the economic area
known as Leeds City Region.
