Business Services
Plymouth boasts a thriving Business Services sector, offering a wide array of financial and professional services. This sector is home to leading commercial law firms, accountants, management consultants, and recruitment companies.
The Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce is the largest network of businesses in the South West and plays a pivotal role in fostering business growth and development in the city.
The city also hosts several contact centres that cater to local companies with national and international reputations. These centres have carved out a niche for themselves, particularly within the marine sector. Companies across the sector maintain a regional and national presence, operating from their Plymouth offices.
