Huge economic potential

The food and drink manufacturing industry is a major driver for the economy, with key strengths in bakery, cereals, meats, snacks and drinks. Other key sectors include pharmaceuticals, finance and engineering.

Businesses are attracted to the area by the well qualified and adaptable workforce, affordable sites and premises with scope for big expansion, superb transport links and the outstanding quality of life.

With new business space now available in Wirral, and the UK’s biggest regeneration project set to create one of the most important business and trans-shipment locations in the country, business opportunities are enormous.
