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.
