Why invest in Worcestershire?

Worcestershire is situated in one of the fastest-growing areas of the UK and is now a magnet for key sectors such as advanced manufacturing, aerospace, cyber and next-generation tech, life sciences and agri-tech.

Worcestershire is home to a highly skilled workforce. The typical 45-minute commute area for Worcester includes a rich talent pool of people from Birmingham in the north, Warwick in the east and Gloucester to the south. The workforce has a high proportion of people working in high-tech manufacturing – four times the regional average and twice the national figure.
