Our unique approach
to partnership
Marketing Derby is a genuine public-private partnership.
At the heart of this are our Bondholders – influential companies and organisations that showcase all that is best about the Derby area and are fantastic ambassadors for our place.
Key to our success is the support we receive from our public sector stakeholders – Derby City Council and East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA).
This collaboration enables us to roll out the red carpet to potential investors and contributes to the positive development of our place.
