It is home to around a million people who enjoy the rich variety of city, coast and countryside living. Occupying a strategic east coast position the entire region is a business hotspot and a magnet for ambitious and enterprising organisations, including five of the world’s top ten companies.
To unwind and relax there is a wide variety of activities, from culture and sport to leisure, shopping and unique attractions such as The Deep – the world’s only ‘submarium’. The city of Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire is surrounded by award-winning sandy beaches, picturesque villages and gently undulating countryside. Sailing, rowing, fishing, bowling, shooting, golf – even jet-skiing and gliding are on offer.
Across the Humber Bridge on the south bank, north east Lincolnshire is an area of rural tranquility and natural beauty. The award-winning four-and-a-half mile-long beach at Cleethorpes is one of the region’s great assets.
As well as the natural beauty of this corner of the world, Britain’s industrial heritage has helped shape it. The town of Scunthorpe grew from five sleepy rural villages into one of the world’s major steel producing centres, while the Associated British Ports facilities in Hull and Goole on the north bank and Grimsby and Immingham on the south, make up the largest port complex in the UK.
