Leeds is a thriving and vibrant city, with an economy valued at around £21.3 billion. The city itself contributes almost a third of the economic output for the whole region. The economy is not only strong, but growing at an impressive rate. It saw an increase of 34% over the last ten years, and is expected to grow by a further 21% during the next decade.
Productivity levels are also extremely high in Leeds. GVA for each employee currently sits at around £51,300 per year, or £28.90 per hour. This is the second highest GVA rate of any major city within England. It's perhaps not surprising then, that a survey from the West and North Yorkshire Chamber found an increase in business confidence across all industries.
In order to establish which businesses are currently leading the way in Leeds, we've put together the following list. It orders the city's top performers based on their most recent revenues, providing a useful insight into the local economy.
