"With the launch of the Barnsley Development Agency (BDA) partnership in 1998, economic development and regeneration activity in Barnsley took a giant leap forward. The partners are Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, the Voluntary Sector Forum, the Barnsley Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Business Link South Yorkshire and Barnsley College. The partnership recognises the fact that for many years individuals and organisations across the UK involved in economic development have agreed that to achieve a really coherent partnership-based strategy, a higher level of integration is required.

BDA represents the fulfillment of this widely recognised objective, with all the keyplayers in economic development / regeneration in Barnsley signed up to a shared strategy across a wide range of interconnected projects and initiatives. The core practitioners in the implementation of economic development, Business Link South Yorkshire, The Council's Inward Investment and Development Team and the Community Economic Regeneration team (CERT) are co-located at the Beevor Court premises. Over the first three years of operational activity the BDA partnership has created an integrated powerhouse for driving forward the economic and physical regeneration of the Barnsley economy, infrastructure and environment, and the securing of rewarding jobs and opportunities for the maximum possible number of our citizens. During the last three years not only has the BDA broadened the scope and quality of its regeneration work in Barnsley, and in working with our sub regional partners and Yorkshire Forward, but this website has been built into one of the most comprehensive guides to local sites, premises and business support assistance of any area in the UK. I hope you find it helpful, and that through this website we can assist you to locate to, or expand your business in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

This is an exciting time to be involved in economic development and regeneration in Barnsley. We look forward to continued close and fruitful work to achieve our joint aims with all our local and regional partners in the months and years ahead.”
