New research shows Yorkshire and the Humber’s screen industries growth

XR Stories and SIGN report research findings on the potential of the creative and digital economies in Yorkshire and the Humber.

XR Stories and SIGN commissioned BOP Consulting to analyse the performance of York, North Yorkshire and the wider Yorkshire and Humber regions’ creative industries. 

Their analysis shows that some of the fastest growing companies in the screen industries have worked with XR Stories and SIGN and that employment in Yorkshire and the Humber’s screen industries has grown significantly faster than comparable areas in Great Britain.

For example, between 2015 and 2018 the region saw an increase of 116% compared to an increase of 11% nationally. This research has revealed a real appetite for expanding the sector in the wider region and to sustain this level of growth.
