Located at the centre of the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor, Bedford is well placed to capitalise on the region’s vibrant technology and digital sectors. In fact, the local authority is playing an active role in seizing this opportunity – by tailoring youth and adult services to ensure local skills are aligned with the needs of the region’s employers.
Yet despite the march of digital, traditional industries have retained a strong foothold in the region. Bedfordshire is home to many leading agrifood brands, and food manufacturing is still a major employer here. FMCG and food production have long been core components of the local employment market, along with the smaller engineering businesses and a variety of professional services firms that support the supply chain.
The automotive, construction and consumer electronics sectors are major employers too, with many thriving SMEs keeping the local jobs market relatively buoyant. Bedford also hosts the headquarters of several large companies, including Autoglass and Boxclever, which compete for skilled graduates from the nearby University of Bedfordshire.
Stone Executive headhunters work closely with employers and candidates in all commercial sectors and functional practices, helping Bedford employers to recruit talented managers and high-calibre senior executives from across the UK and beyond.
