HULL AND HUMBER IN VOGUE AS MORE BUSINESSES LOOK TO MAKE IT THEIR HOME
The tide seems to be turning for the Humber region as more businesses and employees consider making it their new home. Now, Peter Watson, MD of relocation specialists, Vantage Relocation, believes a perfect storm is in place to generate ‘transformational’ renewable growth. Peter explains in more detail...
IDEAL ENVIRONMENT
It’s an exciting time for the Humber region. We now have LEP status in what it is already one of the country's leading areas for the renewable energy industry, with over 20 new major wind energy projects underway. We already had news of the £450 million Able Marine Energy Park on the south bank, and now we’ve had confirmation of the £ 310 million investment in the Siemens wind turbine facilities in Hull, which will create a wind energy hub and thousands of jobs on the north bank.
There is a real buzz about the Humber region in general. We’ve had the City of Culture news for Hull and Hull City’s premier league status, which really help to raise the profile. We attend many conferences to share our knowledge on how businesses moving to new areas can reduce the time, effort and cost of relocation. More and more people want to talk about the Humber and establish a presence here. Only last week, we had an enquiry from a major wind company to provide accommodation for up to 40 employees in the Grimsby area. Things are changing.
Poorly managed relocation programmes can mean that staff members and their families don’t settle, causing problems like reduced productivity and increased absenteeism and, in some cases, the failure of the assignment or recruitment process entirely. That’s why it’s always more efficient for businesses to employ the services of corporate relocation specialists.
STAFF RELOCATION
Peter believes that whilst this will be a fantastic boost to the region’s economy, there will inevitably be a need for some organisations to recruit talent and expertise from outside the region. Therefore, the task of moving staff members to a new area still exists and remains a challenge.
Relocating staff is an intricate process with so many factors to consider. When there is a lack of reliable information on suitable locations, schools, amenities and utilities, staff members often find the moving process very daunting - especially if they are moving to a new area where they have no family or friends.
