South Wiltshire

South Wiltshire offers an excellent environment for business growth and success.

The area boasts an attractive combination of factors: existing business facilities, potential business sites and a pool of skilled labour, plus a high quality of life for a company's employees and their families.

Wiltshire Council works to sustain and develop a competitive economy for south Wiltshire, and a high quality of life for its residents. We aim to develop the district's economy by encouraging new investment and supporting existing business.

We work closely with the other members of the South Wiltshire Economic Partnership and in other partnerships to meet many of these objectives.

West Wiltshire

High quality of life is one of West Wiltshire’s most valued and recognised attributes. Beautiful farmed countryside, picturesque villages and bustling market towns offer a wide choice of business locations. This, combined with a good transport infrastructure and a skilled workforce means it is an appealing, yet practical location for any business.

Our Economic Development officer is involved with a range of community initiatives and is located within our Sustainable Communities section.

The West Wiltshire Economic Partnership (WWEP) aims to promote the economic well-being of the area.

Further information is available in the West Wiltshire Economic Profile for 2003 (please note this is a large PDF file and will open in a new window), or the Wiltshire & Swindon Intelligence Network website - a 'one stop shop' providing access to key local data and publications (external site, opens in a new window).
