Download the full State of The Region report

THE full findings of TheBusinessDesk.com’s first ever State of the Region Survey, which analysed business sentiment across Yorkshire and the North West, are now available.

Hundreds of our users took part in the online survey, which was kindly supported by headline sponsor, law firm DLA Piper, and associate sponsors BDO, Financial Leeds and Yorkshire Bank.

The survey asked business leaders for their thoughts on their respective regions, economies and prospects for their company.

David Parkin, managing editor of TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “The State of the Region Survey is one of the most comprehensive and detailed studies taken across the North of England analysing business sentiment.

“The findings make very interesting reading and show that confidence is high in both Yorkshire and the North West despite the recession.

“Business leaders believe their respective regions are still good places to do business and are upbeat about their prospects and that bodes well for the future.”

A series of round table events, in association with DLA Piper, are to be held in Yorkshire and the North West to discuss the survey’s findings.
