Why Bristol ?

Home to one of the UK’s largest urban regeneration projects, Bristol is fast attracting well established & start-up companies to its digital quarter. Already exceeding business growth & job creation targets, the area benefits from significant infrastructure investment, including £21m for transport, cycle & pedestrian access, plus £11m for superfast broadband.
International Travel & Tourism
With a fast growing regional airport flying to over 30 countries, a “Super Speed” rail service underway from London to Bristol, (set to cut journey time to 75 minutes), and a new £200m investment for the Citywide MetroBus scheme, Bristol is now a hotspot destination for tourists and International business travellers alike.
