The firm will work with the council’s regeneration department and carry out a strategic study of Huddersfield’s economy and property market.

The partner in charge of the Leeds office, Mike Dove, said: “Our research will embrace a number of areas, including employment, retail and leisure, industrial property and office and mixed-use developments.
“We will be cutting across all sector boundaries to produce a holistic analysis of the region’s property market and economy.
