Nottingham Castle
A city right at the heart of England, Nottingham is already a vibrant, versatile and youthful place, embracing creativity and originality. But as with all great cities, Nottingham continues to evolve.
Nottingham is the economic driver of the England’s East Midlands. Its close proximity and excellent transport links to all major UK cities, including London within two hours travel. With two international airports close by access to the rest of Europe could not be easier.
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 business sector. The breadth of economic activity, its highly regarded universities and colleges, together with a skilled and adaptable workforce, makes Nottingham an ideal location for both manufacturing and service sector companies seeking to relocate.
The city focuses on 5 key sectors:
- Business and professional services
- Retail and leisure
- Science and technology
- Public services
- Creative industries

An ambitious regeneration and development programme, which will see more than £3.5 billion (RMB 54 billion) invested in the city, continues to inspire investors and developers, ensuring Nottingham will remain one of the most ambitious, innovative and attractive of Britain’s cities.
New investment is based in three major regeneration zones bordering the city centre - The Eastside, The Waterside and The Southside. Each has huge development potential and is attracting massive investment combined with environmental improvements.
Nottingham’s quality of life is hard to beat, from contemporary city living to quiet village locations just a short distance from the city. In terms of arts and culture Nottingham offers a blend of classical and modern at venues including the 18th Century Theatre Royal, the Nottingham Playhouse and Nottingham Arena which host some of the biggest names in classical and popular music, theatre and ballet.
The city is also steeped in history from the legend of Robin Hood to the labyrinth of the Nottingham Caves buried underneath the city. There are a wealth of historic buildings including Newstead Abbey, the ancestral home of the poet Lord Byron, and Wollaton Hall, one of the finest 16th Century houses (and parklands) in the UK.
