The property and business services industry is another area with a very positive outlook. More than one in five of all new jobs generated over the past decade have been in this sector. Property services include, commercial and industrial leasing; and the hire or lease of motor vehicles, plant and equipment.

The three fastest-growing sectors within business services are:

• computer consultancy services
• employment placement and contract staff services
• accounting and business advisory services

The shape of the business sector is changing. Large companies and government departments are shedding many of the tasks traditionally done in-house, a trend that is providing immense opportunities for small business.

Areas of business services growth include:

• serviced offices and secretarial support
• business planning and information services
• marketing and public relations

Business Training:
Many larger companies and organisations are outsourcing their specialised training requirements and are spending increasing amounts to up skill their work force. Specialist training providers with the ability to tailor courses according to their particular needs are well placed to take advantage of this trend.
