Peterborough 'upwardly mobile'

Much has been said about Peterborough in the press over the past few years – not much of it has been positive.

So it was refreshing to see a large picture of the beautiful Cathedral splashed across the Sunday Times over the headline ‘Upwardly mobile’ and alongside a map showing the city as one of the ’12 areas on the way up’.

The piece talked about the ‘substantial regeneration’ of the city ‘with millions of pounds of public money committed to attract blue-chip employers who will provide well-paid jobs and make the city one of the most sustainable in the country’.

Add to that the number of companies with Peterborough offices which featured in The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies 2010 and our region starts to look a lot more attractive.

We were very proud to see one of our clients – Coloplast - featured in there as well as others from round the region.

Peterborough is on the up it seems. That’s good, not only for those coming into the city but for those of us who have been here for the long haul – both personally and professionally.

And of course it’s a great sign for us as a recruitment agency. People moving to the city will create a bigger pool of talent for us to draw from and companies relocating here will generate a wider variety of positions for those candidates.
