As one Britain’s most affluent areas, Cheshire contains recruitment opportunity for candidates and businesses alike. While it is known primarily for its rolling countryside, the county is also home to a number of large settlements - including Chester, Warrington and Northwich. As ever, larger towns tend to be centres for employment in Admin, IT, Accounting, Insurance, Sales and Marketing, and many recruitment agencies will cover these sectors.
Historically, many areas now classed as part of Greater Manchester were located in Cheshire - including the likes of Sale, Altrincham and Cheadle.
To the south of Stockport, the so-called ‘Golden Triangle’ (generally drawn between Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Prestbury) contains 5 of the 10 most expensive streets in north-west England. This area is a popular home for footballers and wealthy figures from the Executive sector. Similar areas nearby the Triangle include Knutsford and Hale.
Top sectors for employment in Cheshire
Underlining Cheshire’s prestigious status is the Bentley Motors plant at Crewe. This facility is Bentley’s headquarters, and provides over 4,000 jobs - many of which are in the Automotive sector.
Cheshire is also home to many industrial areas, such as Runcorn, which sits on the River Mersey. Runcorn is known primarily for the manufacture of chemicals - and this sector also provides employment for many people with Engineering and Driving skills.
On a more niche level, Cheshire provides job opportunities in Bioscience thanks largely to the BioHub complex located at Alderley Park just west of Macclesfield. The county’s close proximity to airports such as Manchester and Liverpool, as well as numerous BAE Systems sites, means that jobs are also available in the Aviation and Aerospace sectors.
Due to Cheshire’s relatively large population of over one million people, Healthcare is a popular industry for employment. The county’s affluence means that many such positions are available within the private sector, in addition to the NHS. Proximity to large cities also means that jobs are available in the Construction sector.
