There are big plans in Stoke-on-Trent to build a prosperous future through regeneration and inward investment. While those plans have taken a battering during the recession, they haven’t gone away. We look at which parts of its ambitious physical regeneration proposals are likely to ‘get away’ in this climate.
Meanwhile, Michelin has recently announced it is investing a further £20m into its facilities in the area. We look at the local manufacturing scene in general and issues such as skills and graduate retention in particular.
And a future inward investment push is likely to be North Staffs-specific. We look at what difference this is likely to make. And we look at North Staffordshire’s trip to the important property convention at MIPIM and analyse the announcements made there.
Plus Keele’s future is based on higher education and innovative companies in its science park. We look at its success so far and focus on some of the companies based there and highlight future initiatives.
