Position: Business Development Manager
at
Barnsley Development Agency.
What does your job involve? I work with property developers to bring
forward new schemes, assisting them with
planning and funding information. I provide
property, financial and recruitment
advice to local companies and those looking
to move to Barnsley.
What are the main development
issues for your area? Barnsley has seen
record levels of investment in recent
years and we expect that to continue
with a number of high profile schemes
underway in the town centre. We will
continue to support the growth of our
many successful local companies and work
hard to attract further investment. We
have excellent new facilities, an available
workforce and our central location means
we are in a strong position to progress
in the future.
How would ICT Active help in
your area? When looking for
a property, companies consider the rent
payable and lease terms together with additional
property costs but may not always consider
IT services. Because of this they may sometimes
move in and realise the property isn’t
compatible with their IT needs. Hopefully,
initiatives like ict active may prevent
this in the future
