It's been a record-breaking year so far in Harrow. The January to June period saw more new company formations than any other half year on record for the area, and the second quarter also yielded a record-breaking number of new companies.

The local council's "Enterprising Harrow" strategy started in 2007 and is set to run until 2016. The strategy aims to make Harrow more business-friendly and states that Harrow's "future depends on the healthy flow and growth of a relatively large number of new and small businesses."

Initiatives put in place by Harrow Council have helped provide new businesses with the technical support, supply chain development and market information that they need to grow. Action has also been taken to tackle skills shortages and promote local business to local people.

"The record number of companies seen during the first half of the year suggests that the council's plans are working, and new business is flocking to Harrow," said Managing Director of Duport.co.uk, Peter Valaitis.

"With such positive statistics for the first half of the year, Harrow should see a strong finish to 2012."
