One of the key driving forces in Staffordshire’s booming economy is Stoke-on-Trent. Before the pandemic, the city was among the fastest local economies to bounce back from the last recession, outperforming large parts of the UK in terms of economic growth, job creation and innovation.
Whilst the pandemic may have slowed things down in recent years, Stoke-on-Trent looks set for an extremely prosperous period in the coming few years. The Powering Up Stoke-on-Trent Prospectus looks to regain momentum from pre-Covid times through targeted investment in improved infrastructure to connect to and build on the existing strengths in the city.
Much of the prospectus is already underway, the result of which is evident in a report from Irwin Mitchell found that the city is set to have the third-highest job growth throughout 2023. As Stoke-on-Trent continues its impressive growth, the region will only become more attractive to investors.
