Welcome to Business Angus

 

Welcome to Business Angus, the new portal and on-line guide to business and enterprise in Angus.

Business Angus has been developed and is managed by Angus Council and its partners as part of our commitment to strengthening the local economy and creating the right environment for business to grow and prosper.

The Angus industrial mix, with strong engineering, textiles, agriculture, food processing and tourism sectors, offers great potential for diversification and expansion. In addition to these traditional industries, oil and gas support businesses are reaping the benefits of an Angus location. The diverse businesses operating successfully in Angus offer a high level of experience and expertise in their fields. Angus success stories include overseas inward investment, relocations from elsewhere in the UK and home grown Angus firms that have developed into national and international operations.

Angus Council’s Economic Development Unit offers local businesses a wide range of designed to help them develop and prosper. In partnership with Scottish Enterprise Tayside (SET), VisitScotland and other economic development agencies, the Unit promotes Angus at major events worldwide. Also with SET, we assist local businesses and start-up by co-funding the Angus Business Gateway network. We are also committed to maximising Government, European and other external funding to assist existing industry and promote Angus as a centre for investment.

Business Angus is one of the many initiatives intended to stimulate and promote business in Angus. We hope that Business Angus will provide a valuable resource for business by

• meeting a wide range of economic and business information needs
• outlining the business opportunities Angus as a location has to offer
• promoting the economic development and business services on offer in the county; and
• supporting Angus business by making the goods and services they offer more widely known through the Business Directory Listings.
