Economic Intelligence

Economic regeneration, through increasing employment, encouraging business growth and investment, as well as tackling economic disadvantage generally is an important activity for the Council and its partners.

The fundamental purpose of the Economic Development Service is to facilitate economic development by:

• creating jobs and wealth for Barnsley people
• attracting inward investment, and;
• supporting indigenous companies

Barnsley Development Agency is the brand behind the promotion of Barnsley in partnership with Barnsley Chamber of Commerce. BDA works closely with other public sector organisations such as Jobcentre Plus, South Yorkshire Learning & Skills Council, Business Link South Yorkshire, Renaissance South Yorkshire and Yorkshire Forward. Businesses, property developers, property agents and training providers all benefit from the co-ordinated approach the BDA offers.

Policy & Research

The Policy & Research function of the BDA provides bespoke research and intelligence service to Business Development Officers, tailored to the needs of Investors. The unit also meets the demand for more policy-orientated research such as sector and business cluster development, labour and property market analyses and economic monitoring. These are presented through a series of publications including:

• Unemployment brief
• Commercial property demand analysis
