Key Competitive Attractions

The Yorkshire coast can provide companies with a winning combination of a willing and competitive workforce and a wide range of property & development sites. The local economy offers wage rates that are below the national average and the workforce is proving to be adaptable.

The Borough has three major business parks in Scarborough, Whitby and Hunmanby - with the Scarborough Business Park set to double in size in the next two years - and a variety of smaller business centres in both urban and rural locations.

Scarborough won the Grand Jury prize in the prestigious European Enterprise Awards, which was awarded to the most creative and inspiring entrepreneurship initiative in the whole of Europe.
