United Leeds Endeavours Pleased By Flight Links Between Leeds and London

United Leeds Endeavours, a direct marketing and sales firm in Leeds, have heard that flights between Leeds Bradford Airport and Heathrow are to be restored.

Following the takeover of BMI aircraft and landing slots by British Airways plans are in motion to restore direct flights between Leeds Bradford Airport and the capital. The Harrogate Chamber of Trade and Commerce have been lobbying for a restoration of the scheduled service between Leeds Bradford Airport and Heathrow ever since BMI withdrew the service in 2009. United Leeds Endeavours feels that the links between London and Leeds Bradford Airport are extremely important to businesses in Yorkshire as they need to be able to travel between to London for meetings or office visits. Although there is a good train service from Leeds to London the flight time of under an hour is preferable.

From Kings Cross Station, where East Coast trains from Bradford and Leeds arrive, connections to Heathrow from Central London can often take up to an hour. This means that many people wishing to catch an international flight will find it much easier if they can fly directly to Heathrow and then just catch another plane abroad. United Leeds Endeavours feels that this could also help encourage foreign visitors and investors to visit more tourist attractions and businesses across Yorkshire. The restored flights will also be useful for the local population of the area serviced by Leeds Bradford Airport.

A manager at United Leeds Endeavours commented, “The restoration of direct Leeds Bradford to Heathrow flights can only be beneficial to the business community in Yorkshire as people will be able to travel to the financial capital more quickly and efficiently. We can only hope that other smaller airports across the country also gain this great business advantage!”

United Leeds Endeavours Expresses Confidence in New Enterprise Zone

United Leeds Endeavours was pleased to learn that a new business enterprise zone has officially opened for business in Leeds.

The Aire Valley Leeds Enterprise Zone was launched at the beginning of the week by Leeds City Region LEP in partnership with Leeds City Council. Based along the route of the East Leeds Link Road, the 142 hectare site is designed to be an area where businesses can settle with huge incentives. United Leeds Endeavours, a direct marketing and sales company based in the city centre, understands that analysts predict that the zone will create an additional £550m of activity in the area by 2025 and create up to 7,000 jobs.

What is a Enterprise Zone? Leader of Leeds City Council, Keith Wakefield, explains. “The enterprise zone will provide a focus for businesses and a powerful incentive for them to invest in the region.” United Leeds Endeavours learnt that the huge area already has planning permission for a wide-range of activity, including large-scale manufacturing, grade A office space and distribution. The incentives include reduced business rates worth up to £275,000 over five years, a business support programme and fast track planning permission.

Development director David Wells said that the area is ideally placed with “excellent transport links and a close proximity to the M1 and Leeds City Centre…[it] will provide an ideal location for companies in healthcare, low carbon manufacturing, renewable energy, waste management, logistics and distribution.”

A spokesperson for United Leeds Endeavours said that the company believes that this is just the next step towards Leeds becoming the premier business region in the North of England. “We have a huge technology funding expo going on in the next couple of months and now the enterprise zone. Businesses have got every reason to pick Leeds as their home of choice with these fantastic incentives. We’re hopeful that this is the beginning of a new era of huge success for the region.”
