Warwick fifth best in UK for economic vitality

Warwick has been ranked in the top five UK destinations outside London for economic growth, according to new research.

Warwick has been awarded overall fifth place for having the best prospects for economic growth in the UK Vitality Index by commercial property consultancy, Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH). Warwick is the only contender in the West Midlands to reach the overall top ten and jumped up three places from last year’s index. 

The Vitality Index, which provides a thorough view of the health of the local economies of the UK’s main regional towns and cities, identifies which destinations are best placed to support future economic growth and provide opportunities for businesses to expand.

The survey judged towns and cities on six different categories - most productive, fastest growing, most entrepreneurial, best educated, greenest and most affluent.
