The top city for small business growth, fast growing fintech and life science sectors, and the biggest business centre in the East Midlands – Nottingham is going places.
Over 50 national and regional companies have chosen Nottingham as their headquarters including global giants like Boots, E.ON, Speedo, Experian, Capital One and Paul Smith.
Nottingham is embarking on an intense period of economic regeneration, with a £2bn redevelopment of the 'Southside' of the city centre underway; encompassing a remodelled shopping complex, a new ‘City Hub’ college campus and Grade A office space all under construction. These developments will revolutionise the entry into the city from the railway station, an iconic piece of Edwardian Baroque Revival.
This only adds to the £1bn which has already been invested in Nottingham’s infrastructure, with a growing network of light rail trams which enable rapid access for commuters and congestion-free movement, and an award-winning bus network which is one of the greenest in the UK.
The city is also set to benefit as the HS2 network is constructed, with the East Midlands Hub base planned for Toton, on the outskirts of the city, further reducing journey times to London and bringing the rest of the country closer. Toton Innovation Campus will create around 10,000 new jobs and will sit alongside a new commercial and residential space as identified in the recently launched East Midlands HS2 Growth Strategy.
Nottingham is also home to two world-class universities, the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, known internationally for the excellence of their research and the latter being awarded University of the Year in 2019.
For those looking to locate in the city, Nottingham is cost-effective in comparison to elsewhere in the UK and a number of new office developments will provide ample quality choice at a number of city centre locations.
Invest in Nottingham provides support for businesses looking to establish in the city, with a team of specialists on hand, backed up by a first-class business network.
