Hull
Hull has a thriving business environment that has proved irresistible to leading international companies such as BP, Northern Foods, Smith and Nephew and ARCO.
The city is one of the best connected in the UK with superb rail links and three international airports within two hours drive. But it is Hull's position as the gateway to Europe that makes it so appealing to business. The city is one of the UK's few city-ports, offering a huge range of freight and passenger services to destinations throughout Europe and beyond. With a Hull address, companies have instant access to international markets - that's in addition to a truly low cost base.
Recent years have seen trade through the port grow exponentially, driven by the world class facilities. A rolling programme of investment - which has witnessed £72 million spent in the port and its infrastructure since 1990 and exciting current plans for a brand new deep water terminal - will ensure Hull maintains its position as one of the UK's pre-eminent ports and business locations.
