Did you know Scousers are the kindest people in the country? From the moment you arrive in the city, you're guaranteed a warm welcome. From Liver Birds to Cathedral Bell Towers, sky-scraping residential buildings to St John’s Beacon, the Liverpool skyline is instantly recognisable and the best bit is that, you can climb to the top of many of these buildings to experience the stunning 360 view. But back to the business.
It began with huge investments in key sectors like infrastructure and the development of commercial spaces for both retail and office work. These served as fuel for Liverpool’s remarkable resurgence. Liverpool ONE led the way with its opening in 2008.

Liverpool is recognised as one of the UK's leading business destination.

Plus quite a few car manufacturers contributed to that growth, as have more than 266,000 registered local businesses. Infamous for producing over a quarter-million cars annually for top brands like Vauxhall, Toyota, Bentley, Jaguar, and Land Rover, the region can count of 50,000 jobs and a contribution of over £3 billion to the local economy.
The city, on account of its Universities, is also a home to approximately 70,000 students every year, half of which opt for private purpose-built student accommodation.
As though the city’s premier football team, Liverpool FC, orchestrated the launch of the city’s renaissance, its international success closely mimics that of the city itself. Liverpool FC is among the world’s elite and are consistent competitors in the Champions League, Europe’s most illustrious football trophy, making the final four times and winning it twice in the recent memory. Their status as one of the world’s top football clubs attracts more than 54,000 people for every home game, many of whom travel across the world to see them play. This brings more money and tourism into the city regularly.
Not to be forgotten are Everton. This stadium will reside on the site of Liverpool Waters, one of the UK’s largest scale development projects to date. The £5.5 billion waterfront development will make use of a series of presently derelict dock spaces at central docks and will create 17,000 new, full-time jobs in the city.
