Ian said: “10 Downing Street is a first for me! What a great opportunity to witness first-hand the level of genuine interest in our city from international and institutional investors.
“We were delighted to have been granted the opportunity to support Newcastle City Council’s wider presentation and hope to be able to announce further inward investment in the near future. The best projects result from private and public sector collaboration, and I think we conveyed this perfectly to the Minister and investors.”

“We have much to be proud about as Newcastle’s profile continues to grow, and we must build on that confidence to secure investment, grow our economy and create new jobs for generations to come.
