Our city

We're one of the greenest cities in the country, with award winning parks and the beautiful Yorkshire countryside right on our doorstep. We're home to five successful universities, with a thriving jobs market and a healthy digital and creative scene. Not to mention, a strong and fast growing production sector that has seen the likes of Channel 4 move to the city to open its national headquarters.

As one of the largest employers in the region, we employ over 15,000 people across a wide range of roles and services — doing amazing work that matters, while delivering top quality customer services. With a clear vision, we're set for the future, ready to become an even more distinctive, sustainable, ambitious and creative city for all.
