CHESHIRE AND WARRINGTON
IS AN OUTSTANDING
ECONOMY, WITH OUTSTANDING
OPPORTUNITIES...
With the strongest performing economy across
the North of England and achieving greater
growth than anywhere else in England, it’s a time
of outstanding opportunity for Cheshire and
Warrington.
Today, with a £31bn economy, Cheshire and
Warrington is consistently achieving annual
growth higher than the UK and North West
average and with a population approaching 1
million - and 2.78m within 30 minutes’ drive - it’s
a place that is a solid investment opportunity,
potentially providing low risk and strong returns.
Some of the most well-known global brands
choose to call this region home and are
driving forward growth that is built on the
solid foundations of high-value manufacturing
excellence; Energy and Clean Growth; Financial
and Business Services; Life Sciences and Logistics
and Distribution. Indeed, the region delivers 26%
of the North West of England’s manufacturing
output and the sector is growing 3 times faster
than the national rate.
A hot-spot for talent, with a resident population
of almost 1m - and the highest working age
catchment outside of the M25 at 2.78m
people within 30 minutes’ drive - Cheshire and
Warrington is a solid proposition for investors
and occupiers.
Having the highest skilled population across the
North of England, around 44% of the resident
working age population are qualified to degree
level or above. And, with 15 Universities within
a 30-mile radius, there is access to 200,000
students, bringing innovation, new ideas and
expertise to the 42,000 businesses thriving in
Cheshire & Warrington.
It’s a place that doesn’t stand still and in the past
decade has seen transformational investment
in vital infrastructure, improving connectivity
across road, air and rail and increasing digital
capabilities.
By 2040 Cheshire & Warrington aims to have
doubled the size of its economy, with 120,000
more jobs created and 127,000 new homes built,
and with a wealth of investment opportunities
there has never been a better time to invest.
Opportunities including the Cheshire Science
Corridor, the Energy Innovation District, HS2
Crewe Hub, Warrington New City and the Mersey-
Dee Axis all make for interesting, cutting-edge
investments.
The arrival of HS2 to Crewe in 2027 will bring
huge opportunities whilst securing its place as
the most connected place in the UK when the
Hub is complete – Crewe will be the only place
in the country that can be reached in less than
30 minutes from Manchester, Liverpool and
Birmingham and from London in just 55 minutes.
Together with an exceptional quality of life,
excellent housing, schools and healthcare and a
vibrant leisure and cultural offer, Cheshire and
Warrington is one of the most desirable places in
the UK to live, work and invest. We warmly invite
you to be part of our future.

Chair, Cheshire and Warrington Local

AN OUTSTANDING PLACE
TO INVEST...
The North of England’s economic powerhouse,
Cheshire and Warrington is fast-growing and
knowledge-led with a resilient and robust £31bn
economy with some of the world’s leading
companies innovating in the area.
The region’s economy is built on solid
foundations, having established supply chains
across high value manufacturing including
automotive; life sciences, energy technology and
production and financial & business services
– not reliant on one sector, there are multiple
opportunities for cross-sector working and
diversification.
It’s a highly attractive place in which to live and
work, so a place that talent readily migrates to
with outstanding career prospects at over 42,000
businesses; with 9 of the top 20 businesses in the
North West of England located in Cheshire
& Warrington.
High value manufacturing and advanced
engineering remains the cornerstone of the
Cheshire and Warrington economy with 24,000
people employed in over 6,800 businesses,
anchored by global conglomerates including
Bentley Motors, Unilever and Siemens. Growing
at three times the national rate and with 95% of
the UK’s car production within three-hours drive,
existing industrial locations are in high demand.
The Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals sector
employs over 6,500 people and underpins the
Cheshire Science Corridor assets. Alderley Park,
with research intensive facilities and home to
the UK Medicines Discovery Catapult, is now the
base for 150 businesses and some of the world’s
most successful anti-cancer treatments have been
developed at the site.
Cheshire and Warrington’s financial & business
service sector accounts for 15% of overall
employment. 45,000 people are employed with
companies including Barclays Bank, M&S Financial
Services, Lloyds and Royal London. Alongside
Manchester and Liverpool it’s a compelling
proposition with a deep talent pool, all of which
ensures a steady flow of occupiers for office
led schemes.
Cheshire and Warrington’s unrivalled connectivity
ensures businesses thrive. The region is served
by 2 major airports, Manchester and Liverpool
John Lennon, providing extensive international
and domestic route networks. Passenger ports
and sea freight can be found at Holyhead,
Liverpool and Manchester, with the Liverpool 2
container terminal nearby. And an extensive road
network offers easy travel north, south, east
and west.
Already well connected by rail to most UK
cities and towns, new national investment in
infrastructure, especially HS2 and Northern
Powerhouse Rail, will deliver transformational
benefits and it will take only 30 minutes to
travel in to the region from the major cities of
Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.
The Digital 2020 programme which is underway
will increase fibre broadband coverage to 99%
with some of the highest speeds available in the
UK. Our aim to make the area one of the most
connected digital areas in the country is quickly
being realised.
Housing, industrial, leisure, office or mixed-use
– whatever your investment portfolio demands,
consider investing in Cheshire and Warrington.
Clean growth is one of the UK’s main priorities
and Cheshire and Warrington is at the centre of
energy technologies. Energy giants such as Wood,
Essar, Rolls Royce Nuclear and the North West’s
only FTSE 100 company United Utilities form part
of an extensive cluster of over 7,000 businesses
employing some 31,000 people and all benefiting
from the highest concentration of R&D assets in
the North of England within the Energy
Innovation District.

THE CONSTELLATION PARTNERSHIP
A CONSTELLATION OF CONNECTED PLACES
HS2 is fast becoming a reality. The first phase
to Birmingham was recently given Royal Assent
and the Bill for Phase 2, which will bring HS2
from Birmingham to Crewe, is now in Parliament.
By 2027, Crewe will have a state of the art new
station, and by 2033, when the HS2 Hub is
complete, the town will be 55 minutes by rail
from London and 20 minutes from Birmingham
and Manchester.
This will transform rail connectivity not just into
Crewe but to the areas around it.
This gives Cheshire, Stoke-on-Trent and North
Staffordshire unrivalled growth potential.
The local authorities and two Local Enterprise
Partnerships across this area have developed
the ground-breaking Constellation Partnership to
capture this opportunity.
Backed by the Government, the Constellation
Partnership aims to deliver more than 100,000
new homes and 120,000 jobs by 2040 and is set
to drive huge opportunities for those looking to
invest in the UK. The area is particularly attractive,
providing significant rental and capital growth
potential through a combination of greenfield
developments, urban and city centre schemes.
The area is already a vibrant investment
opportunity on the route for much of the
country’s existing north-south road and rail
systems. Investors can also take advantage
of Constellation’s east-west connectivity, via
Stoke-on-Trent and Crewe, as well as global
connections through major international airports
in Manchester and Birmingham.
16

871candwep.co.uk
Outstanding investment opportunities
When HS2 arrives, investment in Constellation is
likely to surge.
The region is served by leading universities,
benefits from a highly-skilled population, a diverse
manufacturing supply chain, substantial land
availability, and excellent natural environments.
Building on the unrivalled connectivity of HS2,
the Constellation Partnership aims to create a
distinctive network of connected and successful
places through:
A world class rail hub at Crewe
As Constellation’s primary transport hub,
new development will be driven from the
Constellation’s urban heart.
A transformed urban centre for Stoke-on-Trent
As the capital of Constellation, the city’s
impressive transformation as the commercial
retail, and leisure heart of the area will be
accelerated by regular HS2 services.
A Constellation of thriving and
distinctive towns
Our main urban areas will be supported by a
constellation of distinctive and successful market
towns, with continued investment in town centres.
There has never been a better time to invest in a
region set for a golden future.

Crewe an attractive base for businesses and
residents but will be a catalyst for regeneration
across the region bringing investment
opportunities for both commercial and
housing development.

What’s a
cactus got
to do with
investment?
Well, nothing usually. But this cactus belongs
to a renter in Heidelberg, where the population
has grown 7.6% since 2011.
It’s one of many European cities where the
demand for rental properties has skyrocketed
as more people migrate for work.
That’s why we’ve invested €4.2bn in
residential assets across Europe over the last
three years – bringing strong returns for our
clients, and giving homes to cacti just like
this one. Find out how our local knowledge
and market insight could help find the right
investment opportunity for you.
