Rotherham faster growing economy

[WanChaiMiller]

Just read Rotherham is the fastest growing town/city economy in Yorkshire and 8th fastest in UK. Must be doing something right.

Survey I saw yesterday showed it was in the bottom 10 for house price rises in 2017 at -4%

This is more about business growth than house price. Rotherham experienced 1.8% growth in 2017.

The report says Rotherham, the home of the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, has built on its historical manufacturing sector specialising in heavy steel, and now plays a key role in making bespoke products for the aerospace, nuclear and transport industries, driven by research and development.

The location and success of the AMRC in attracting investment from the likes of Boeing and McLaren makes a significant difference to the assessment of Rotherham’s performance against its peers.

Always great to celebrate a success story....isnt it?

It is indeed. No doubt the doom merchants will have something to carp about though.

Good to hear, I was going to mention it’s probably due to AMRC which Sheffield try to claim

Yes very encouraging for the town - long may it continue 👍

My business dealings in Rotherham are far more profitable than the ones I have in other parts of the country.
Some nice areas in Rotherham to live.
