A new campaign is giving people across the UK and beyond the chance to discover why Staffordshire is a great place to live and work.
A Place to Thrive includes a new brochure and video detailing why more people are choosing the county as their home and base for business.
The campaign is led by We Are Staffordshire – which markets Staffordshire as a place both nationally and internationally.
It demonstrates that the county boasts an abundance of natural green spaces including The Roaches and Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as leading national attractions such as Alton Towers and the National Memorial Arboretum.
Average house prices in the county are around £6,000 lower than both the West Midlands and Cheshire and it also has great road and rail connections with London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.
The Place to Thrive document includes information on Staffordshire’s schools, colleges and universities – with 85 per cent of its schools being rated at good or outstanding by Ofsted.
It also sets out why Staffordshire is a top place to do business from big industry names like JCB and Jaguar Land Rover to the thousands of start-up businesses which are thriving here.
Meanwhile, it illustrates that 61 per cent of start-up businesses in the county survive their first three years which is higher than the UK average.
Each of the county’s eight thriving districts and boroughs are featured, including their bustling towns and villages and countless attractions for all the family.
Hannah Ault, place board chair of We are Staffordshire and managing director of ceramics material manufacturer Valentine Clays Ltd, said: “I believe our county offers an outstanding quality of life for its people, with boundless natural assets and proud history at every turn. I firmly believe that Staffordshire has an innovative and bold future and for me. It is the only place I will ever call home.”
