CAS services are designed to help local businesses. In this blog, we're taking a closer look at how our services can support businesses in Peterborough. The city has a central location in eastern England, its designation as a ‘New Town’ in the 1960s, and population growth has boosted the local economy.
A cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough houses a lot of London’s overspill population. Primarily in new housing clusters surrounding the historic city centre. Population growth of over 45% in the 1980s, brought with it an emphasis on service-sector companies. The population growth has continued in the twenty-first century, with 197,000 residents in the city and non-metropolitan district in 2016.
The city's economy has grown significantly in recent years and continues to attract investment. Peterborough's regeneration plan led to an economic boom compared to the rest of the country in the early 2000s. This increased the number of businesses located in Peterborough, and by 2016 there were over 14,200 companies in the city.
Peterborough has a large cluster of companies in the environmental and services sector. It has also become a distribution centre for many organisations, given its position in the UK’s transport infrastructure. The population is economically active, with unemployment at 4.5% in March 2017, lower than the 4.7% UK average.
Rents on high-quality office space have been rising in across the UK and particularly in cities such as Peterborough in recent years.
