Professional & Financial
York and North Yorkshire has established a flourishing professional and financial service sector. More and more companies are locating to the area, taking advantage of the low cost base and quality labour force available and all set within such a glorious, prestigious working environment.
""So far, all of our expectations have been exceeded: We have taken on people faster than we anticipated. That's a business need, but also the demographic allows us to do that."

The financial and professional services boom has seen the arrival of such companies as Norwich Union Life, CPP and TSYS and Dickinson Dees.
Success has been seen across a range of services from architects to marketing firms and from law firms to financial advisers, with many predicting a bright future.
A recent study by Yorkshire Forward showed that financial and business service companies are the most optimistic in the region when it comes to future employment.
North Yorkshire is only 25 minutes away from Leeds, the financial capital of the North. Over the past 10 years more than 30 financial and professional services organisations have moved to Leeds, including Belgian Bank KBC, the second largest financial institution in central Europe.
The financial and professional services sector employs over 100,000 people in Leeds alone. Leeds is one of the largest financial, legal and business service centres in the UK, outside London.1
