Barnsley offers excellent, cost effective business locations in both the urban centre and the wider Borough to public sector organisations and many new businesses have been attracted by the competitive rates available.

As well as offering competitive pay rates compared with other locations, Barnsley benefits from a readily available committed and skilled workforce. It is estimated that the staff and property costs of setting up a 1,500 sq. m. office in South Yorkshire, with 100 office team members, will be at least 50% lower than in London over 5 years.

With far more affordable costs of living such as housing and entertainment than other parts of the country and a superb quality of life, the incentives have never been better.
