A plan for transformation

Making a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE

Our Mission

TDA’s mission is to drive the physical and economic regeneration of Torbay so that it becomes a place where people and businesses can thrive.

Our core focus is to improve the local environment, deliver social value, strengthen business opportunities and create jobs.

How we operate

TDA Group was set up by Torbay Council in 2011 to deliver Torbay Council’s economic development services. We are entirely owned by the Council and are guided by Torbay Council’s Economic Plan, ensuring that the local economy is sustainable and delivers long term future prosperity and improved quality of life for all Torbay residents.

We offer a range of services to help deliver our economic and physical regeneration objectives including: business and property services, workspace management, affordable housing and engineering services.

As a social enterprise, the profit generated by our commercial services is reinvested into our economic development and regeneration projects, funding the delivery of our social purpose.

About Torbay

The Torbay area consists of three major towns: Torquay, Brixham and Paignton. Torbay is the second largest urban area in Devon, with a population of over 135,750 people, administered by the unitary authority of Torbay Council.

Torbay is at the beginning of a once in a generation period of transformation, with exciting multi-million-pound projects happening across the region. Investment in our towns, local economy and infrastructure will give people spaces to enjoy and create more job and training opportunities, future proofing the area for generations to come. TDA is proud to play a pivotal role in this transformation.
