The Wakefield Top 100 Companies 2024/25 were revealed in May 2024 showcasing the Wakefield District’s strong business community and celebrating successful businesses in the district.

The Wakefield Top 100 is a joint project between Wakefield First as part of Wakefield Council, University of Huddersfield, and the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre (3M BIC). The initiative shines a light on the fantastic businesses of Wakefield, promoting the district as a place to do business with unrivalled investment and growth opportunities.

The Wakefield Top 100 list is determined by a set of consistent metrics, using a combination of turnover, profit, employee numbers and growth, all obtained from published company accounts of locally registered firms from the Bureau Van Dijk – FAME database.

It’s an exciting time for the Economic Growth team at Wakefield Council who have recently launched the new Wakefield District Economic Wellbeing Strategy 2024-2029. The strategy focuses on improving the wellbeing of our people and communities across the district whilst nurturing a just economy by building on what works well.

There are three key core ambitions within the strategy which are underpinned by nine defined and impactful missions. These will deliver a culture of economic wellbeing for the Wakefield District. Read the full strategy here: www.wakefieldfirst.com/economic-strategy/
