BUSINESS SUPPORT

The chemical sector is a growing industry in Yorkshire and Humber with productivity more than double that of the West Yorkshire economy as a whole.

However, Yorkshire Chemical Focus recognises that the chemical industry is under pressure, particularly with competition from overseas, increased regulation and increases in raw material prices.

There are many organisations that can provide invaluable help, advice and information specifically for chemical businesses or on running a business in general. They all offer impartial, business-focused advice that can help you to stay competitive, grow your business, reach new markets or develop new products.

Call us on 01484 346 540 and we will be pleased to help you directly or put you in contact with someone who can give you the help that you need.

You can contact Business Link Yorkshire, 08456 048 048 directly for general advice and business support and also visit the Yorkshire Forward website.

For specific advice on overseas trade, contact Alastair Gardner on 07810 852 314,  a.gardner@uktiyorkshire.co.uk or visit the Trade Yorkshire website. This comprehensive document outlines the various types of support available to companies through UK Trade and Investment.
