Invest in Doncaster

Key Competitive Attractions

A thriving hotspot of urban renaissance, Doncaster is rapidly emerging as a vibrant 21st century town of significance.

While remaining fiercely proud of its heritage as a hub of industry, Doncaster is bold and ambitious, with a bright and prosperous future. The borough`s pioneering regeneration projects have led to over £1.4billion of investment and the creation of over 22,000 jobs in less than a decade.

Doncaster continues to maintain confidence in its unique advantage as a strategic location for business, and employment and has been identified as better placed than many other areas to withstand the effect of these difficult economic times, according to a report conducted by Yorkshire Cities.

A key development in Doncaster`s economy is Robin Hood Airport. Opened in 2005, the airport has advanced steadily, providing a global reach for over one million passengers per annum. It has direct services to Europe and beyond, and a 100 acre business park, dedicated to aviation related industries, that is already attracting world class companies.

In the virtual world, Doncaster is proud to be part of the world`s largest Next Generation Access Broadband rollout. Currently under construction, the project will deliver a world-class broadband infrastructure to residents and businesses across South Yorkshire, providing high bandwidth access not currently available elsewhere in the UK. This truly world-class communications offer positions Doncaster within the global marketplace.

Easy access to motorway networks, an international airport and world-class broadband connectivity make Doncaster an attractive proposition for any business.
