Yorkshire Forward is the Regional Development Agency charged with improving the Yorkshire and Humber economy.
Our 270,000 businesses contribute to an economy worth in excess of £80 billion, while over 5 million people mean this region ranks alongside countries including Ireland, Greece, Norway and Singapore.
Yorkshire Forward drives the success of the region by using the £2.50 we get each week on behalf of each of our taxpayers to provide them with more jobs, access to new markets for businesses and to regenerate our town and city centres.
Our region has so much to offer: great businesses, a fantastic quality of life and people with diverse talents and skills. Yorkshire Forward is developing this extraordinary potential, to make our region a truly world class location in which to live, work and invest.
Our annual report and accounts demonstrates Yorkshire Forwards contribution to the regions economy, how we have delivered against our objectives, and explains the changes implemented which affects our structure. Details of the accounts for the organisation are also included.
