With roots stemming from a 13th-century manorial borough, Leeds has grown into the fourth-largest built-up area in the UK by population. The city's name, derived from the old Brittonic for "people of the fast-flowing river," suits its location around the River Aire. Its geographic advantage, lying midway between London and Edinburgh with multiple motorway links and the busiest railway station in Northern England, makes it an attractive destination for tourists and investors alike.

Recognised as a major hub during the Industrial Revolution, Leeds once thrived on textiles and the flax industry, evolving into a coordination centre for woollen cloth. Today, it boasts a diverse manufacturing industry, integrating printing, engineering, and chemical productions. Leeds has recently seen significant regeneration, manifesting its vision to become a '24-hour European city and the 'capital of the north', attracting flagship projects and eye-catching investments.
