Why choose an Enterprise Zones?

Whatever your business requires, locating in an Enterprise Zone ensures you get the best possible support in a location that is perfect for your growth. 

That may include business support, specialist or plentiful skills; easy access to markets; co-location with your sector’s supply chain and customers; bespoke space; or a combination of all of these.

The Welsh Government Business Support team will listen to those requirements and explore opportunities to develop a tailored package of support to make your move smooth and straightforward, covering all bases.

Business environment

Wales is open for business. In addition to strong relationships between businesses, academics and our devolved, business-focused Government, Wales’ Enterprise Zones also offer diverse skills from a loyal workforce, competitive property costs, established supply chains and a great place for you and your workforce to live and work. And when you join us in an Enterprise Zone you’ll be in good company. We are already the location of choice for a number of international companies such as Aston Martin, Deloitte, Magnox, Continental Teves, Tata, Valero, Airbus, Minesto and BBC.

Business support

Whether you are a large, established business or a small start–up the Welsh Government Business Support team will listen to your requirements and explore opportunities to develop a tailored package of support to cover all bases.

Business ready infrastructure

All eight Welsh Enterprise Zones ensure easy connections to other parts of the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and beyond.

Each Zone has a varied mix of available property: from Grade A office space to large development areas, from R&D incubator units to factories or aircraft hangars you can move into or renovate. And some sites are available with planning permissions already in place.

A great place to live

As well as offering some of the best environments to do business, our Enterprise Zones also offer you and your loyal workforce a great lifestyle when you clock off.

With unbeatable mountain, coastal and rural landscapes, great cities and three National Parks packed into a country that’s just 256km (159 miles) long and 96km (59 miles) wide, the great outdoors is on every doorstep.

This is a major factor in making staff retention levels here higher than the UK average - which means you don’t just get a great lifestyle in a Welsh Enterprise Zone, you also get a loyal workforce.
