LOCATING TO NORWICH

Yesterday and today come together to stunning effect in Norwich. Modern landmarks such as Norman Foster’s recently expanded Sainsbury Centre, Michael Hopkins’ Forum and the new Chapelfield shopping centre sit comfortably alongside an incredible 1500 historic buildings, including two cathedrals and a Norman castle.

Norwich’s architectural heritage is a powerful symbol of the outlook of city and county – justly proud of its roots, but with a tradition of forward thinking and progress.

Norwich is well connected. Reach Jersey and Edinburgh and international hub Amsterdam by air in about an hour, or be in London in under two hours by rail. Business thrives on connections, and Norwich has the links you need to be a player on the big stage.

Base your business in Norwich and you could save 75% on office premises compared to London, or 50% compared to Cambridge. Wage costs are highly competitive too.

People like Norfolk. They come here, from all over the country, and they stay here – for the opportunities, the lifestyle and the setting. Graduate retention rates are among the country’s highest, with over 40% of University of East Anglia graduates choosing to live and work in Norwich.

Norfolk’s peaceful landscape and famously wide skies will bring new clarity and calm to your thinking. Beautiful countryside, wonderful beaches and the unique Broads offer a wealth of options for outdoor pursuits, exploring or just relaxing.

Make your home outside Norwich and you’ll be at your city desk in minutes every morning and escape to the country every night. Or, if you choose a base in the city, you can still reach everything the countryside has to offer with ease, including the coast in under an hour.

Choose Norwich and change ‘work-life balance’ from an empty phrase into a wonderfully fulfilling reality.
