Three of the best places to do business in the Midlands

With affordable office space, new developments, and good business travel, the Midlands is a great place to do business. Not only are the cities in the Midlands well connected but they are currently cited as some of the fastest-growing cities for business talent. Here is a list of the three best places to do business in the Midlands.

Birmingham

Compact commercial district

In Birmingham, the commercial district and almost all business opportunities, both old and new, are next door to each other. There’s the start-up business culture in Digbeth, the well-renowned custard factory, and Colmore Row. The City Council HQ is equally close as is the retail heart of the coyote, the Symphony Hall, and the Birmingham Arena.

Transport links

Within and out of the city, Birmingham has great transport links for business travel. New Street Station has excellent train links within the city as well as strong connections to major cities all around the UK. The HS2 train line project is underway with the aim of connecting London and Birmingham in a journey time of fewer than 50 minutes!

Peterborough

Small Business Haven

Recently ranked as one of the most entrepreneurial cities in the UK, Peterborough is widely becoming recognised as a small business haven. The small business survival rate surpasses that of many cities and this along with the high level of business start-ups makes this city one of the fastest-growing cities in the UK.

Well connected

Due to its central location, the city benefits from enviable connectivity for business travel. Direct links to the city via both rail and road make Peterborough an easy place to get to and from which is a great advantage for business.

Coventry

Innovative heritage

Coventry and Warwickshire boast a strong heritage for inventions with one of the highest rates of international patenting in the UK. From the bicycle, created by Coventry inventor James Starley, to traffic indicators, by Charles Humpherson, the area is well known for its innovation.

Great transport

With excellent rail and motorway links, Coventry and Warwickshire are just an hour from the capital. If you are a business based in the Midlands, it's easy to simply set up a corporate taxi account to ensure that your clients and business associates are transported quickly and easily between Coventry and elsewhere.
