Becoming a Marketing Derby Bondholder is a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded businesses and contribute to the growth and success of Derby as a thriving economic hub. The Bondholder community is a dynamic network that promotes collaboration, innovation, and investment, making it an ideal platform to engage with key stakeholders, share insights, and support initiatives that drive the city forward.
For us, the scheme represents more than just a membership—it’s about actively championing Derby’s potential and being part of a collective effort to boost its reputation as a great place to live, work, and do business. The regular networking events, industry insights, and promotional opportunities provided through the Bondholder programme offer invaluable exposure and the chance to build meaningful relationships with other ambitious organisations.
Ultimately, we see this as an opportunity to not only grow our own business but also to play a role in shaping Derby’s future by supporting investment, development, and collaboration across industries.
Businesses in Derby are shaping the city’s future by expanding, creating jobs, and boosting the local economy.
The University of Derby is opening a new Business School in 2025, bringing more students and opportunities, which will support local businesses and attract investment.
Culture is also growing, with the new Culture Derby agency supporting creative industries. Plans to redevelop the old Assembly Rooms site into a cultural space will make the city more vibrant.
Local businesses are benefiting from council grants, helping them expand and create jobs, strengthening the economy.
Industry remains crucial, with companies like Alstom building high-speed trains. However, challenges like job losses highlight the need for continued investment.
With business growth, cultural projects, and new developments, Derby is becoming a better place to live, work, and visit. The city’s future looks bright as businesses, education, and culture drive progress and innovation.
Derby has a fantastic mix of history, innovation, and a strong sense of community. It’s known as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and continues to be a hub for advanced engineering and manufacturing, with companies like Rolls-Royce, Bombardier, and Toyota playing a major role in the local economy. The city has a great business ecosystem, with strong support for startups and established businesses alike.
One of Derby’s biggest strengths is its central location. With excellent transport links, it’s easy to connect with the rest of the UK. The city also has a lower cost of living compared to other major cities, making it an attractive place to set up and grow a business.
