Welcome
to this showcase for enterprise and innovation
in Leeds, the UK’s second largest manufacturing
centre outside London.
Leeds
has nearly 1,900 companies engaged in a diverse
range of manufacturing activities, including
specialised engineering, print, food and drink
manufacture, chemicals and medical technology.
Employing over 38,500 people, the sector generates
11% of Leeds’ total output of over £15
billion a year.
Most Leeds manufacturing companies are small
to medium sized, in many cases world leaders
in their respective fields. They play a key
role in the city’s economic life, adding
diversity and vitality and ensuring Leeds’
fortunes are not dependent on individual industries
or employers.
Our
site features dozens of Leeds manufacturing
case studies, key
facts
and figures. Please contact
us with comments or feedback
or to highlight a Leeds business you believe
should be showcased.
