    HSBC HQ relocation


    Greater Birmingham is the UK’s leading centre for financial services outside London. 

    Birmingham has the largest business, professional and financial services (BPFS) industry in the country, with more than 21,000 companies employing some 220,000 people in the region. 

    The industry generates £15 billion annually for the local economy.


    The new Birmingham head office for HSBC UK represents part of a £200 million investment that HSBC is placing within the West Midlands, £70 million of which was spent on supplies from within 40 miles of site and signals a return to the bank’s Midlands roots.

ABOUT Birmingham

Why Birmingham is perfectly placed in United Kingdom?  

Birmingham, in the West Midlands, is the UK’s second largest city with a population of around 3,600,000 people. 

  • It has more kilometres of canals than Venice and is at the centre of the UK’s motorway network. 
  • Birmingham’s central library is the largest public library in Europe, lending 8 million books every year. 
  • The city is home to several large universities and over 400 schools. 
  • Famous landmarks in and around the city include: the National Exhibition Centre hosts largest exhibition along with London 
  • Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter is Europe’s largest area of jewellery and metalworking workshops. The area produces about 40 percent of all the jewellery in the UK. 
  • The nearby village of Bournville was built by the Cadbury chocolate company in 1893. The so called ‘model village’ was intended to be a pleasant place for workers to live. 
Hence the redevelopment of the Birmingham New Street Station. Stations are increasingly becoming destinations in their own right, acting as a catalyst for inner city regeneration. Birmingham New Street station and Grand Central’s redevelopment has boosted daily passenger capacity from 170,000 to 240,000 as well as dramatically improving the overall passenger experience. The annual capacity is 55 million passengers, it is at the heart of the UK’s motorway network. 

The geographical location of Birmingham is perfectly placed in the middle in the whole country.

Research


Oxford University predicts Birmingham needs 89,000 new homes between 2011 and 2031, the equivalent of 4,450 a year. Birmingham saw 1,810 net additional homes delivered in the year to March 2015, which leaves the city with an annual shortfall of 2,640 new homes, even before the backlog is taken into account.


This shortfall could build up to at least 26,000 homes from now until HS2 is expected to start operating in 2026, by which time Oxford Economics projects that Birmingham’s 1.1 million population will have grown by 8.0%.


With an economy worth £24.8 billion, Birmingham had a growth rate of 19.8% in the last five years and is one of the largest growing city economies in the UK. The following are just some of the reasons why Birmingham is fast becoming one of the most attractive places to invest in, in the UK.
