The Renaissance
Stoke-on-Trent is changing. Fast!
The city is open for business and
enjoying a Renaissance.
The city has a clear vision of rapid
growth to develop as the next Core
City. With a highly competitive cost
base and an unparalleled, connected,
central UK location, Stoke-on-Trent
is perfectly placed to help you build
your business and deliver against
your investment.
The city council enjoys strong
leadership committed to a
programme of ‘Mandate for Change’
- supporting business growth and
attracting new investment. Working
hand in hand with the Chamber and
the private sector we are here to help
you exploit our natural competitive
advantages in your Stoke-on-Trent
journey to accelerated growth.
We are not afraid to state that
our aim is to dominate the
space in a major UK Growth
Corridor combining Manchester
and Birmingham. We are
committed to helping you to
help us deliver against that aim.
The strength of our business
offer, allied to the remarkable
quality of life available to your
workforce, makes Stoke-on-Trent
the city of choice for business
and investment.
The pitch
The Stoke-on-Trent economy has
fared better than the national
average. Unemployment rates are
falling, GVA is growing and economic
activity out-stripping our competitors
This rapidly growing conurbation
continues to attract new investment.
Jaguar Land Rover, Amazon and GE
Power Conversion have all made
significant investments in the area.
In a parallel renaissance in ceramics,
Steelite is expanding with the aid
of Regional Growth Fund, and
Wedgwood Waterford Royal Doulton
investing heavily, both facilitated by
the city council.
We offer unparalleled access to
the UK market place - London is 84
minutes by train, Manchester and
Birmigham less than 45 minutes.
At the heart of the UK motorway
network we offer access to over 2.7
million people within a 45 minute
drive time and 90% of the UK can be
reached within a four hour drive time.
Stoke-on-Trent is the focus of
c. £1.5 billion of public and private
sector investment over the next five
years. The combination of our City
Deal and Local Growth Fund Deals
with government is helping build a
network tof stable, sustainable heat
and energy to businesses, and driving
very significant investment into
the city infrastructure - opening up
employment sites and creating rapid
access into the city centre.
The Deals help accelerate our
development of a comprehensive,
competitive city centre as part of our
outstanding ‘quality of life’ offer.
In addition to easy access to some
of the UK’s finest countryside you

Stoke-on-Trent.
