Leicester and Leicestershire have so much to offer...
Thanks to a continuing £3billion invesment programme, Leicester is now recognised as a dynamic and cosmopolitan city - and it is within easy reach of central London. Just a few miles away from the city buzz lie some of England's finest countryside and historic market towns - making Leicestershire a serious contender on the relocation shopping list. You can live in a vibrant urban setting within minutes of beautiful countryside or enjoy the tranquility of a traditional village life with great city shopping, restaurants and cultural experiences close at hand.
Leicester provides significant cost savings on both labour and property, compared with London. What other location can combine significant bottom line savings with an integrated package that includes a central location easily accessible from all major UK cities and regions, excellent communications links and a dynamic and skilled labour market with a strong work ethic?
Leicester is the second most improved city in the UK for business competitiveness* and has also been voted one of the best places in Britain to do business.** Many major organisations have already invested in and/or relocated here including Alliance & Leicester, AstraZeneca, Walkers, 3M, HSBC, Triumph, Asda/Walmart and Next.
