Primary Location for Business
Positioned at the heart of the UK, serviced by three national rail networks and within easy reach of nationwide road networks and five major airports, Northamptonshire’s prime position is not only a key factor in the development of the county’s economy but also a catalyst in helping it remain one of the fastest growing counties in the UK today.
Working in partnership with Northamptonshire County Council, the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership works tirelessly to capitalise on the county’s prime location through developing its economy, promoting it as a visitor destination and investing in projects and businesses which will only further cement its already impressive locality credentials.
Championing Northamptonshire as a Business Destination
The Partnership will continue to develop and strengthen the county’s proposition for new investment by UK and overseas owned businesses with a particular focus on the Performance Engineering, Clean Technologies and Logistics sectors.
Providing a strong ‘front of house’ enquiry response point for Northamptonshire, the Partnership will also continue to build and develop a ‘virtual sales team’ of Ambassadors and other partners to assist with the strong presentation of Northamptonshire and its offer.
Inward Investment and International Trade
The Partnership will undertake a range of marketing and communications activities; at events, through the media, and via the web to support the generation of new leads and new business interest in the county.
Collaboration with partners and in particular with the established group of Northamptonshire Ambassadors will be key. The Partnership will also establish a strong working relationship with the new UK Trade and Investment sponsored approach to handling Foreign Direct Investment and establish a strong Northamptonshire representation within this new activity.
The Partnership will work with local business to pursue international links for the county focused on trade and investment opportunities, outside of Europe with a small group of target locations in India, China and other leading and emerging economies.
