The Heart of England is where everything connects. As the name and geography suggest, we’re right in the middle of things. But the connectivity from which business can benefit runs much deeper than that. Here are five main connections:
Connected by transport – it’s the centre of the country and the centre of the UK’s population. Just a 90-minute journey by train from London and at the centre of the UK’s road and rail infrastructure, connecting with every mainline railway station and city – and served by four international airports.
Connected to value – reported by Ernst and Young as being 25% less expensive than Greater London.
Connected to skills – seven million people live within one hour of the centre of Birmingham and 13 local universities produce thousands of graduates every year. It’s not surprising that the top ICT systems integrators in the world have all chosen to set up a base in the region.
Connected to resources – the West Midlands is a region responding to the needs of business, ensuring skills are aligned to the needs of employees, employers and the economy.
Connected to quality of life – the area offers a mix of city life, historic market towns, picturesque villages and stunning countryside. There’s something – and somewhere – for everyone.
