The Lyons Review, published in March 2004, indicated that 20,000 civil service jobs may be relocated from London and the South East - saving an estimated £2 billion over the next 15 years.

This represents an opportunity for Government Departments and Non-Departmental Public Bodies to relocate to a location which will benefit the organisation as a whole and enhance the quality of life for public servants.

Choosing the right location can bring about a wide range of potential opportunities and Barnsley is ideally placed to help you get the most out of your relocation.

Located in South Yorkshire, between Leeds and Sheffield, Barnsley is already a thriving 218,000 strong community. New investment and the major urban renaissance programme ‘Remaking Barnsley’ are making the town an even more desirable place to live and work. As a result, business confidence and interest in Barnsley has never been so high.

Barnsley has many benefits to offer Public Sector organisations looking to relocate. These include excellent access to the UK road network and the cost advantages of labour rates and premises in Barnsley compared to other locations.

Add to this the excellent quality of life and there’s never been a better time to relocate to Barnsley.

Be at the start of something exciting.
