Northumberland County Council has launched a new video which showcases the impressive and exceptional investment opportunities across Northumberland at this year’s UKREiiF conference in Leeds 20th to 23rd May 2025 – the UK’s (APOSTROPHE) premier real estate conference.
The ‘Invest in Northumberland’ video brings to life the wide range of investment opportunities available across the County, building on the recent successes of investments by Blackstone QTS into a new £10bn Data Centre Campus in the County and JDR Cables £130m new advanced cable manufacturing facility, alongside securing Investment Zone status to support further growth and investment into the county.
The video showcases the desirable investment opportunities for businesses not only in the UK but globally, highlighting Northumberland’s thriving sectors, strategic development sites with access to clean power and unique quality of life on offer in the county.
The initiative is part of Business Northumberland, the new business support service at Northumberland County Council to highlight investment opportunities for sectors such as, Renewable Energy and Offshore Wind – with the county boasting 25 years of working in offshore wind – as well as Advanced Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences, Food and Drink and digital sectors are highlighted.
The magnitude of these sectors across Northumberland highlight just how much more opportunity there is within the county.
From large-scale land development opportunities such Northumberland Energy Park, West Hartford Business Park, Ashwood Business Park and Lynefield Park to vibrant town centre regeneration schemes, the video shows what a desirable location Northumberland is to live, work and stay.
Simon Neilson, Executive Director for Place and Regeneration said: “Northumberland is a land of great opportunities. with our strategic location, sector strengths and ambitious investment plans, Northumberland offers a unique proposition to forward-thinking investors.
“This new video helps us tell that story in a powerful and accessible way – demonstrating why Northumberland is not just a great place to live, but a smart place to invest.”
The engaging video content has been developed to be clear and accessible for both domestic and international audiences. It forms a core part of Invest Northumberland’s commitment to challenging and evolving its messaging through insight-driven communications, updated literature, and compelling visual storytelling.
