Business Clusters in the UK - A First Assessment, published in February 2001, is the first UK-wide systematic assessment of UK clusters.
This report provides a snapshot of existing clusters across the UK to inform the thinking of Lord Sainsbury's Clusters Policy Steering Group and the development of clusters policy. It will be used by the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) as a base source of information for their clusters development work.
The report is based on employment data and, although supported by qualitative information, it will not identify all embryonic or aspirational clusters.
