The City of Nottingham; strategically located for all means of
transport, with a quality of life which recently brought the independent
accolade "No 1 City in the Nation" stands at a historic threshold.
A combination of pragmatic common sense by its City Council, a
dynamic partnership with the business community and excellent
relations with Government Departments has made the City top of
the league and a venue for Inward Investment, Company/Government
Relocations and indigenous expansion. Nottingham is determined
to enhance its position as a premier European Regional Capital
by the year 2000 and as a City has the vision to ensure it will
have the facilities and infrastructure worthy of this ambition.
Nottingham has a thriving, broad based manufacturing infrastructure.
The economic strength of the city is based on a mix of large internationally
known companies, supported by a growing, innovative small and
medium sized sector. The product base, including clothing and
textiles, pharmaceuticals, food, drink, tobacco and engineering,
is equally diverse. The breadth of economic activity together
with a skilled and adaptable workforce makes Nottingham an ideal
location for both manufacturing and service sector companies seeking
to relocate.
