Business Kirklees is delivered by the Business, Economy & Growth Service at Kirklees Council. We deliver targeted business support that helps businesses to start up and grow, supporting economic growth and creating jobs for local people. We also work to attract inward investment for Kirklees.
Business Kirklees provides free support to businesses of all sizes and sectors across Kirklees. We navigate the complex local, regional, and national business support landscape so you do not have to – helping you access funding, support networks, knowledge and skills to enable your business to thrive.
We work closely with others to ensure businesses receive high-quality, relevant support. We share knowledge and best practice, influence decision-making, and broker businesses’ access to support programmes.
Guiding our vision for Business Kirklees, our management team comprises people from varied backgrounds with a breadth of skills and experience. Meet the people leading the way with passion and expertise...
