Birmingham has been undergoing a major transformation in recent years, driving significant levels of investment into the city. The city centre itself is a vibrant hub of shops, restaurants, bars, and many other nationally recognised attractions such as the Birmingham Arena, Sealife Centre, Symphony Hall, and Birmingham Rep Theatre.
Birmingham is also home to a number of high profile organisations such as the BBC, ITV, Heart FM within the creative sector, HMRC are relocating 4,000 jobs to Birmingham City Centre, and major financial institutions opening head offices there – the likes of Deutsche Bank, HSBC, PwC, and Royal Bank of Scotland.
Birmingham has been confirmed as Europes youngest City with 45% of its population under 30 years of age. Birmingham is home to HS2 HQ which will bring in 1500 new jobs and provide a huge boost to the already booming economy. Eight universities and world-class research institutions produce 52.000 graduates annually with a 50% graduate retention rate meaning one out of two students stay and work in Birmingham.
Connectivity
HS2 will mean it will only take 38 minutes to get into London.
