Company growth in Cambridgeshire unable to continue the precedent set in the preceding years.

With 7,739 businesses formed in Cambridgeshire during 2022 this equates to a somewhat disappointing growth rate for the county of 2.6%. Not only is this below the 4.6% that the UK as a whole saw, it is also the lowest that Cambridgeshire has seen in over 10 years.
