Gatwick Diamond launches new inward investment platform

Regional business group, the Gatwick Diamond Initiative (GDI) today launches its new inward investment platform, with strategic partner Gatwick Airport.

The ‘Invest Gatwick Diamond’ website will be officially launched at the inaugural Gatwick Airport Economic Summit, a high-level event bringing together stakeholders from across the region to discuss long-term, sustainable economic growth and future inward investment for the south east.

The new website reinvigorates the Gatwick Diamond’s online presence and reflects the changes to the inward investment and business world post-Brexit and the Covid pandemic.

Digitally welcoming visitors and existing businesses to the region, the website provides an overview of the all the area has to offer and signposts to specific partners and organisations for further information. Highlights include a virtual map showcasing the latest investment opportunities for businesses looking to establish a presence or expand.

The Gatwick Diamond region, which stretches from Croydon in the north to Brighton & Hove in the south, has a wealth of opportunities to offer international and UK-based businesses of all sizes. Home to one of the most economically successful parts of the country, the area offers access to a talented, highly-skilled workforce, strong regional and international transport links and outstanding quality-of-life.

Chairman of the Gatwick Diamond Initiative, Brett North said: “The Gatwick Diamond region continues to be an attractive location for businesses to invest and develop. Having one of the strongest economies in the country has helped the business community navigate the challenges of recent years and we believe we are in a strong position to overcome future challenges.

“Today’s launch, with our strategic partner Gatwick Airport, provides a focused platform for inward investment from which we will continue to strengthen and develop the Gatwick Diamond economy.”

Stewart Wingate, chief executive, London Gatwick Airport, said: “We are delighted to be a strategic partner for the Gatwick Diamond Initiative and the single focus they provide for future inward investment for the region.

“Today’s Gatwick Airport inaugural Economic Summit is an important early step towards creating a successful regional identity that drives a thriving, resilient and diverse economy. By bringing key players from our region’s economy together, we want the event to kick-start further action that makes a practical difference to local communities, businesses and young people for generations to come.”
