The Carlisle Economy
Carlisle, a historic city in Cumbria, is home to 108,000 and has a prosperous economy, home to many international organisations like ITV Border, Carr’s, Edinburgh Woollen Mill and Cumberland Building Society. Known as the “Great Border City,” Carlisle is a key regional hub with a strong economy rooted in manufacturing, retail, health and transport, and has experienced significant employment growth over the last couple of years, outperforming the UK average.
The city benefits from its strategic location near the Scottish border, attracting businesses and visitors alike, and presenting significant recruitment opportunities for both companies and candidates. In 2019, Carlisle was selected to receive up to £25 million through the agreement of a Town Deal for Carlisle, an injection of investment that will only improve the job opportunities and attractiveness of Carlisle.

Part-time FDs
At what point do I need a Finance Director? What’s the tipping point of turnover when I need someone a bit more senior in finance?
Senior Finance
Finance Directors, CFOs, call them what you will. These are the people that lead. They challenge the MD in private and support them in public.
Part & Qualified Finance
Turning the numbers into something meaningful. This is the key step in turning data into information, and building up support for decision-making.
