Businesses in Wakefield

Wakefield’s position on the M1 and close to the M62 has made it one of the country’s distribution centres, and much of the district’s business services economy exists to serve that: fleet, facilities, commercial property and industrial trades.

The city centre carries a smaller but long-established professional cluster, and the wider district — Pontefract, Castleford, Normanton — has its own independent trades economy that rarely appears in Leeds-focused directories.
