Described as the "safest city in the Midlands" Derby offers a wealth of opportunity.  Professionals are attracted by the quality of life, affordable housing and job prospects.

Derby is a modern city and benefits from its proximity to the Peak District and National Forest, as well as a number of surrounding rural towns and villages.  The city centre hosts many cultural events and festivals throughout the year and is home to a mix of intimate bars and restaurants, traditional English pubs and live music venues.

The Westfield Derby shopping centre has repositioned the city as a major retail destination in the East Midlands with 190 shops, an 800 seat dining area and a 12 screen Cinema de Lux.  This is balanced by the historic Cathedral Quarter offering a range of quality independent stores and a wide selection of restaurants cafés and bars.
