Leeds business news As the largest economy in Yorkshire, Leeds drives business activity across the region. We cover the stories shaping the city's commercial landscape from company growth and major announcements to market trends, appointments, and the developments affecting employers, investors, and professionals across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Leeds Today publishes daily, bringing you the news that matters to the Leeds business community.
Leeds is home to one of the UK's largest and most diverse economies outside London. With strengths spanning financial and professional services, technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and a growing creative sector, the city generates nearly £40 billion in economic output annually. Over 30,000 businesses operate across the Leeds metropolitan district, from global firms headquartered in the city centre to the SMEs and startups driving growth in every corner of the economy.
The city is changing fast. Billions of pounds of investment are flowing into regeneration, transport, and commercial development across South Bank, the West End, and the Innovation District. Major employers including Turner & Townsend, Clarion Solicitors, and Cognisys are expanding, while new ventures are launching across tech, hospitality, and professional services every week.
Leeds Today exists to make sense of it all. We rewrite every press release we receive, stripping the PR language and surfacing the facts that matter to Leeds.
