THE PLACE FOR BUSINESS
AND INNOVATION

Combining rich history and an exciting future, North Nottinghamshire is a great place to do business.

We have many home-grown multi-nationals and small independents in our town centres, as well as industrial estates and rural areas.

The BID continues to be a creative driving force for change, going above and beyond in several keyways…
