Praetorian Outsource Marketing Unsurprised Birmingham one of the Best Places to Invest

Aug. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- The outsource sales and direct marketing company has always known that Birmingham was one of the best places for business in the UK, however, they thought  they were a little biased.  Now they have the statistics to back it up! The figures released yesterday by the Marketing Birmingham Regional Observatory showed that the number of foreign investment projects in the UK fell by 2% last year. However, in comparison in Birmingham there was a 37% increase with 26 new projects in the city. The result of this was far reaching, it has created more than 5,700 jobs and safeguarded a further 5,000 jobs across the West Midlands region.

What does Praetorian Outsource Marketing think the reason for this is? A representative for the company said, “Birmingham has consistently been an attractive place for foreign investment over the years. We are famous for our manufacturing industry and indeed the figures show that 70% of all investment is going into this sector. In general there is a very proactive, can do attitude to business in the region. As a community we don’t rest on our laurels and wait for contracts to come to us, we go out there do a fantastic job and our reputation and hard work brings us clients. We believe this attitude is what has seen Praetorian Outsource Marketing grow so consistently over the last few years.”

Wouter Schuitmaker, from Business Birmingham, praise local industry for “creating an environment for growth” and said that the levels of international investment in the region were a “considerable achievement.” Big projects in the region which have seen investment included £1.3m at MG Motor Longbridge factory and more projects at Jaguar Land Rover.

The representative from Praetorian Outsource Marketing continued, “With our reputation as a strong place for international companies to invest we’re confident that this is only going to serve Birmingham further in the future. We already have the reputation as the UK’s second city and that accolade is only going to strengthen in the coming years as we draw in more and more investment. At Praetorian Outsource Marketing we will continue to work hard for our clients, we know our colleagues around the city will do the same.”
