Warrington’s economy has been given a clean bill of health in a report by a think tank released today, Monday.

The study by Localis found that the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership’s economy is ‘well placed’ ahead of the UK’s departure from the European Union.

Cheshire and Warrington is one of England’s most productive areas according to the report, while workers in the area are some of the highest rewarded in England.

Localis also found that Cheshire and Warrington’s workforce is overall more skilled than the job that they do, and called for industrial strategy to focus on improving the quality of employment to meet the existing labour market.
