A recent report undertaken by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, confirmed what those working and running their business in Wirral have known for years.
The report tracked the number and type of companies that had increased in employment over the past three years. Each company had to achieve 20% employment growth for three consecutive years to qualify.
