With almost seven million inhabitants and 252,000 businesses, the Northwest is a thriving economy. It is worth a remarkable £119 billion – the UK’s largest regional economy and bigger than 15 EU countries. The region has three international airports connecting to over 270 destinations worldwide. The Northwest is a great place for business and there is a warm welcome waiting for companies who invest here. To make that first move even easier, we have launched a new soft landing service for the Northwest – HELLO NORTHWEST – offering free, flexible, serviced office space for the first 12 months of your company’s move.
HELLO NORTHWEST enables businesses to establish a foothold in key locations within the region. The scheme is supported by a full spectrum of business development services including an extensive, free and confidential package of advice and assistance to companies looking to invest in the Northwest.
