Signs are positive for Bradford
businesses
By Chris Holland,
Business Reporter
Madeline Wolfe, Taylors of Harrogate's export sales administrator, with Chamber
International's Mike Strawson
Business Reporter Chris Holland rounds up recent key business
developments
The boss of Morrisons’ new online grocery operation said this week’s
launch of deliveries to the Bradford-based retailer’s heartland would put
it nearly halfway towards reaching 50 per cent of UK households by the
end of the year.
Delivery vans started rolling out from the Birstall depot on Monday to
households in Bradford, Skipton and other parts of Yorkshire.
Simon Thompson, head of online food at Morrisons.com, said the Birstall
hub would supply about eight per cent of Morrisons online sales and the
expansion into Yorkshire would see it achieving about 40 per cent of its
intended coverage for 2014.
The roll-out in
Yorkshire has created
nearly 100 jobs for
delivery staff.
Mr Thompson said:
“We have been most
encouraged by sales
over the first three
weeks which have been
better than expected.”
Oxford-based
property investor Ray
Withers has sung Bradford’s praises, predicting it would become a
magnet for savvy investors.
Mr Withers, chief executive of Property Frontiers, which is selling buy-to-
let apartments in the £45 million Aspire Citygate development on
Manchester Road, said regeneration of the city would attract more
demand for luxury apartments through people returning to the district.
He said: “Bradford offers a good, yet affordable
standard of living and its migrating population
has made the city one of the UK’s top residential
property hotspots for 2014.
“House prices in Bradford are, on average, one
third less than London and half the price of the
South-East. However, the growing demand in the
area is pushing up prices in the property market,
making it an excellent location for capital growth
investments.”

CheckChamber International revealed they are
trying to resolve an international dispute over
the export of blended teas.
Experts are advising Taylors of Harrogate, which blends Yorkshire Tea,
to resolve a regulatory dispute with South Korea, which has been
accused of ‘protectionism’. Chamber International warned that the
‘country of origin’ labelling dispute could become an EU-wide issue.
The dispute revolves around the definition of the ‘substantive change’ in
a tea product which is used to determine its country of origin.
Mike Strawson , Chamber International senior export advisor, said: “In
our view, this is a clear case of protectionism on the part of the South
Korean authorities. It could be the thin end of the wedge and, if not
resolved, this dispute could affect all blended teas exported from within
the EU.”
Bradford-based steel stockholder Barrett Steel Group bounced
back last year in the face of challenging trading conditions and
remains confident about future prospects.
The family-owned business saw pre-tax profits leap by nearly 50 per cent
from £3.1 million to nearly £4.6 million while turnover rose by five per
cent from £261 million to £273 million in the year to September 30.
