Liverpool 'ticks economic boxes' – Cummings
Chris Cummings, the chief executive of independent membership body City UK, has given a positive assessment of Liverpool’s economic growth prospects.
He was speaking to delegates at an event held at Liverpool's 'embassy' in London. Cummings identified the main criteria determining the economic performance of cities including cohesive business and political leadership, entrepreneurial culture, world-class universities, good transport links and a strong core of qualified professionals.
He said: "Liverpool ticks all these boxes. There is an underlying vigour in the city's economy based on fast-growing strengths in areas like wealth management, bio-science, advanced manufacturing, digital creation and the low carbon economy.
"Liverpool is building a modern high value economy with attractive investment opportunities."
City UK was set up to promote the UK's financial services and the professional services industries. Cummings' comments were delivered at a lunch sponsored by law firm DWF.
