Middlesbrough a City at Heart is taking care of business!

Businesses of all kinds are behind the bid for City Status for Middlesbrough.

More than 90 business people attended a recent Middlesbrough Business Forum Breakfast Exchange meeting and learned of the potential for City status to raise the profile of Middlesbrough and attract both investment and tourism.

In the words of Pete Hallsall, Managing Director of BioRegional Quintain, "For Middlesbrough to become a city seems to me to be a natural progression for a town and wider area which is on the up.

“Becoming a city will have a particular effect when it comes to business.

“Attracting national and international investment in an area depends on confidence and profile. City status would really help Middlesbrough boost both.

“This investment would create more jobs, attract further companies to the town and improve overall prosperity."
