Cheshire is a great place for Business.
If you’re looking for a region with ambition, scale, and serious momentum—Cheshire and Warrington should be on your radar. Whether you’re starting up, scaling fast, or investing for the long term, this region offers an unbeatable mix of talent, infrastructure, innovation, and quality of life.
Let’s take a closer look at why more than 41,000 businesses already call Cheshire and Warrington home—and why it might just be the perfect place for your next chapter.
💼 A Business Landscape Built for Growth
With a £37.7 billion economy and over 528,000 jobs, Cheshire and Warrington punches above its weight. It’s not just a strong regional performer—it’s a national one.
Key figures:
• £42.3k GDP per capita – significantly above the UK average
• 10% higher productivity per hour than the UK average
• Home to over 25% of the North West’s manufacturing output
This is a place where businesses make things happen—and the numbers prove it.
🌍 A Strategic Location with National Reach
Bordering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, North Wales and the Midlands, Cheshire and Warrington offers unrivalled access to markets, transport links, and supply chains.
Whether you’re in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, clean energy, or the fast-growing visitor economy (worth £3.9 billion!), the ecosystem here supports ambition with action.
👥 Powered by People, Driven by Innovation
The region isn’t just growing—it’s evolving. With a strong talent pipeline, three councils working together, and proposals in motion for a Mayoral Combined Authority, the area is geared for smart, joined-up growth.
The proposed devolution deal would mean local control of funding and decision-making—from skills and housing to transport and net zero. That’s a game-changer for businesses who want to shape the future, not just watch it happen.
🌱 A Vision for 2045—and Businesses at the Heart
The ambition is bold but clear: to be the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive and growing economy in the UK by 2045. And business will be the engine of that journey.
With access to local leadership, regional investment opportunities, and a clear voice in shaping strategic direction, Cheshire and Warrington isn’t just a good place to do business—it’s a place to help lead the way.
