Cllr Brian Oxley Leader,
Brighton & Hove City Council
The directory is produced by the Economic Development & Enterprise Unit of the council as part of their commitment to developing local enterprise. We hope that the directory will encourage increased trade between local companies and provide accessible information about the many sources of advice and support available to local businesses of all sizes and stages of growth.
This time, we've included some additional features about the exciting major development projects underway in the city, work being done to develop skills in the local workforce and opportunities arising from the awarding of the 2012 Olympics to London.
We trust you will find the directory contains all you need to make business decisions, whether you are a local company looking for trading partners or expert advice, or a business from outside the area wanting to know more about the excellent range of opportunities to be found in the city.
We are delighted that the local economy continues to flourish, supported by traditional sectors such as tourism and financial services and the fast-growing creative industries sector. Brighton & Hove City Council works in partnership with local businesses and strategic organisations to provide a clear economic strategy for the city, to ensure that the whole community shares in this continued success.
Sustainability is at the forefront of the Council's thinking and now underlies planning decisions on all levels. As part of the council's commitment to creating a sustainable city we have included a special feature highlighting environmentally friendly practices that are easy to adopt and can save money for your business.
The city council is committed to supporting existing local businesses and attracting new enterprise, and works actively to provide the best conditions for their continued success. We welcome your views at any time on how we can do this better.
