Huddersfield, the first 'Northern Powerhouse'
Huddersfield was an industrial and manufacturing powerhouse in the past. So much so that, in fact, Huddersfield became the first ‘Northern Powerhouse’ 150 years ago.
And, indeed, it still is a powerhouse in the 2020s.
There are around 475 Companies located in Huddersfield.
As the business Kirklees website says, Kirklees, and Huddersfield within the district, is “a powerhouse in UK manufacturing, boasting double the national average employed in manufacturing and engineering”. Huddersfield’s manufacturing sector is experiencing growth, with Huddersfield emerging as a hub for advanced manufacturing.
Huddersfield is experiencing positive small business growth too, as the local economy booms. It’s a great place to start a business, with support and funding available for startups and growing businesses.
Kirklees is focused on “growing an inclusive and productive economy at the heart of the North”, with a robust economic strategy.
Bnode is a business both deeply embedded in the creative and digital industries and in the local community and wider West Yorkshire region too. We’re proud to call amazing Huddersfield, Kirklees and West Yorkshire our home. So, who better to work with to grow your business?
