England's Northwest

England's Northwest -
Europe's leading location for expanding businesses.


With a thriving £111 billion economy, the 12th largest in Europe, a population of nearly seven million people and 230,000 successful businesses, England's Northwest operates on a truly international scale.

It boasts Manchester, voted Britain's Best City for Business 2007 behind London; Liverpool, one of Europe's fastest-growing economies and European Capital of Culture 2008; Cheshire, home to AstraZeneca's largest global R&D centre; Lancashire, a world leader in advanced manufacturing and engineering; and Cumbria, at the international cutting-edge of nuclear technology.

Internationally renowned for our pivotal role in the aerospace industry, the Northwest is responsible for developing over 100 types of aircraft. Over 800 aerospace companies, including BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and Airbus, contribute £7 billion per year to the local economy - a third of the UK's entire GVA in the aerospace sector. The industry's regional heartland, Lancashire, is the UK's largest centre of aerospace manufacturing and production, employing more skilled people and generating more overseas income than any other region.

Boasting a larger economy than many European countries, England's Northwest is a major economic force with many options for a sound investment opportunity.
