Orkney Business Survey 2012

What are the future prospects for business in Orkney?

Orkney Islands Council’s Economic Development Unit and its Business Gateway Service set out to answer this question earlier this year through its Orkney Business Survey. Nearly 400 local companies took part,answering questions on their turnover, the size of their workforce and their plans for future development.

The survey was developed with the help of local industry groups and made available online and via the Business Gateway Service.

The information gathered in the survey will be used to identify the key issues and challenges facing our local businesses and will help the development and efficient use of available support resources.

The key findings are presented in the document which is available from the Related Downloads Section of this page. Please note that the document is not fully web accessible.
