As the fastest growing City in the UK, Manchester is now the biggest economy outside of London and is in fact equal to the combined economies of Leeds, Liverpool and Sheffield. Since 1997, more than £700 million has been invested, transforming the city and with over £3 billion committed to real estate and infra structure projects, the city continues to lead the way.
In terms of employment figures, Greater Manchester makes up over 40% of people employed in the North West with 350,000 employers.
With an impressive range of business operating in the region, from award winning SME’s, to over 20 shared service centres including Marks & Spencer, Kellogg’s, Michelin, Astra Zeneca, Japanese Tobacco and Tetra Pak, Manchester is very much a hub of excellence for commerce.
It is a city and economy we are proud to be part of.
