  • CVEZ Booklet Spring 2020 FINAL
    CERAMIC VALLEY Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Enterprise Zone Spring 2020 #CeramicValley www.makeitstokestaffs.co.uk FOREWORD Councillor Abi Brown Chair, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone Board Leader, Stoke-on-Trent City Council Since it’s launch in 2015, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone (CVEZ) has consistently contributed to Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire’s continued economic growth, driving our move to high-value added sectors and raising productivity. We have seen investment flow in, enabling brownfield sites to finally be developed out. Built on the strong narrative of a resurgent city region, with a mix of land owners, developers and local authority partners, we have championed tirelessly the benefits of locating in the heart of the UK, and today are one of the most successful EZs in the country. With occupation over 73% of current development build and a pipeline of serious interest, this success is spurring next phase developments to bring forward their masterplans. Real progress has also been made to open access to the zone, with major infrastructure programmes being delivered on the A500 that links the sites, as well as opening up additional access. We are hugely proud of what we and our partners have achieved so far on CVEZ; sites derelict for generations are helping to regenerate local towns, and speculative investment has delivered growth that supports our burgeoning local economy, one of the fastest growing outside London & the South East. Ambitious leadership and real delivery have turned our plans into jobs and businesses, employing local people and raising aspirations amongst our young people. Ceramic Valley is far more than a project, it’s a modern take on our way of life.
