14 January 2020
Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (the LEP) has commissioned a business survey to gauge the views of businesses on a range of issues.
The LEP has commissioned the survey to help develop a better understanding of the climate in which businesses in Leeds City Region are operating, their confidence, investment experiences and intentions. The focus this year is largely on understanding the impact of COVID-19 and Brexit on businesses, both over the past year and looking ahead to 2021.
By getting a clearer picture of the challenges facing businesses, and by understanding where they may see opportunities, we will be able to better design policies and projects to support businesses in recovery. Around 2,000 businesses in all sectors will be surveyed across the West Yorkshire districts of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield.
BMG Research will be carrying out the survey on our behalf. They will be contacting businesses by phone in January-March 2021.
No organisation other than BMG will have access to the identity of organisations interviewed unless respondents volunteer that information. A summary of the survey results will be published on our website when available.
