Recruitment North West

According to a recent report issued by the North West Regional Development Agency (NWDA), areas such as Lancashire are now among the UK's fastest developing economic regions. High levels of employment and substantial new job creation, combined with strong job security and a steady flow of foreign investment have propelled the region far above the national average in terms of employment rates and expected income. A significant amount of the region's largest employers are foreign-owned businesses with large scale investment in the area, many coming from both Europe and the United States, which has helped the region develop into a sophisticated employment zone.

The population of the North West of England is around seven million and geographically it incorporates some of the UK’s most dynamic cities. In fact, the North West is second only to London and the South East in terms of economic growth and productivity. In addition, a number of important regeneration programmes are underway in the region with the creation of business parks and centres of learning in places like Greater Manchester and Lancashire. These projects already provide work for people in the construction and interior design industry during the building phase and will create more jobs in the long term. A particular focus on high technology businesses also means the region is sure to provide an important source of quality employment in the future.

Through most of the 20th Century, the North West was traditionally supported by industries such as textiles and shipbuilding, but with the decline of heavy industry in the region businesses have successfully diversified with a move toward office-based service sector employment. The service industry now supplies around 80% of all employment in the North West. This type of work is generally flexible, which means the role of employment agencies such as Daniel Adams has become significant. Such agencies provide a link between the major employers in the region and those seeking full or part time work in the service industry.
