Vacancysoft & APSCo South West Regional Labour Market Trends | April 2025
The South West entered 2025 with fresh economic tailwinds following the rollout of the “Western Gateway” partnership, a cross-border growth initiative aimed at boosting infrastructure investment between South Wales and South West England. Combined with targeted incentives under the government’s Levelling Up Fund, the region has positioned itself as a key beneficiary of renewed fiscal attention. Business investment has shown early signs of stabilisation, and infrastructure projects linked to energy and transport corridors have begun to stimulate local demand for professional skills.
