About Cardiff
The Cardiff city-region offers your business a location with a wealth of opportunity to offset the downturn and emerge stronger than before.
A compact city with all the attributes of a capital, Cardiff’s human-scale allows business networks to flourish and provides easy access to Welsh Assembly Government Ministers and Cardiff Council decision-makers.
Cardiff’s Competitive advantage in terms of business costs is illustrated by DTZ’s 2009 report on office occupancy costs, where it ranked the lowest of the survey’s Western European locations.
Its modern infrastructure enables your business to access London in two hours and other major cities in the UK very quickly through the road or rail network. Heathrow Airport is an hour and a half’s drive away and Cardiff Airport offers 50 flights a day to UK and European cities, with onward flights to global destinations.
Cardiff’s digital advantage is emphasised by BT’s investment of nearly £500 million in its new 21st Century Network development – allowing access for phone calls, broadband and internet protocol services through a fully converged platform.
The city’s changing skyline reflects the capital’s rapid growth, but life in Cardiff is also about the great outdoors, clean fresh air and healthy living. With no tedious commute, you’ll have more time to enjoy family life and explore Cardiff’s wonderful open spaces, and its many cultural and recreational facilities.
