Scotland provides a cost-effective, stable and secure operational base from which to serve the global market & and the quality of Scotland’s living and working environment is second to none.

Leading Financial Centre

Scotland is a leading European financial centre, home to the global headquarters of some of our foremost financial services companies, and a financial services industry that accounts for almost 1 in every 10 Scottish jobs.

In the highly competitive and fast-changing global environment in which the financial services industry operates, Scotland continues to outperform many of its rival business centres around the world as a preferred location for leading companies. In 2007, the industry grew at over three times the rate of the Scottish economy. Scottish-based companies have expanded their operations and some of the world’s most successful companies have chosen to locate new operations here.

The reasons for this are clear. Scotland has a long-established and successful international financial services industry, with expertise and critical mass across all of the main industry sectors. It has a knowledgeable, talented workforce with a broad, deep skills base, supported by many excellent universities and professional institutions. Edinburgh has one of the best-trained workforces in the world; there are more graduates per head of population than in any other city in Europe, the universities ensure a steady stream of science and technology related talent and Scotland’s financial services industry has a higher proportion of university-educated workers than either the Scottish or UK economies as a whole.

Edinburgh

Edinburgh is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe and is generally regarded as “one of the most desirable” cities in the UK in which to live, work and do business.

Known as the “Athens of the North”, Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Its architecture reflects its historical importance as Scotland’s capital and its landmarks are known throughout the world, from the magnificent Castle dominating the city skyline, to the elegance of the Georgian New Town, and the splendour of its Victorian heritage.

But there is much more to Edinburgh than just visual appeal. The city is home to over 400,000 people and is a vibrant, modern working city but, at the same time, it is firmly grounded in tradition. Past and present live side by side in an ideal location.

Edinburgh was recently named as the best place to live and work in the UK by the Channel Four property programme Location, Location, Location.
