Embassy travels to West Midlands
Published: 2010-05-05 10:29:00
Inward investment agency Marketing Derby is aiming to attract office end-users to the city through one of its innovative Derby Embassy events in Birmingham in July.
This will be the first Derby Embassy in the West Midlands.
The event provides an innovative and effective tool for raising Derby’s profile with businesses and investors.
Following a brief presentation to a targeted audience of Birmingham agents and investors, a short promotional film called "Derby – Ready to Go" will be shown. The film showcases the 1,000,000 sq ft of office space available in the city, all with planning permission, across several schemes.
John Forkin, Marketing Derby director, said: "We'll be looking to move forward in the next 18 months and be proactive with marketing the city to investors. The developments that are taking place make it easier, as we can go to them and explain and show where money can be made. The campaign is now much more focused and Derby is very well placed to attract investment."
Recent developments such as Pride Park, have established Derby as a key business location in the Midlands. With new offices in the pipeline the focus for opportunities has now shifted to the city centre. City centre office space offers a more balanced working environment, close to public transport and access to local amenities including restaurants, retail and new public spaces.
