THE UK’S ENERGY ESTUARY

The Humber has powered the UK economy for decades, bringing everything from food to freight, coal to cars, passengers to petroleum, and is home to the UK’s busiest port complex.

Today, the Humber’s location and ports connectivity continues to drive its serious investments and innovation.

Coined as ‘The Energy Estuary’, it now boasts a wide range of economy sectors from renewables and bio-mass energy to engineering, chemicals, food processing and digital industries - taking raw materials and inventing products and services used around the world 24-7.

It has created the beautiful coastal paths that frame our countryside and has rooted diverse communities in the thriving market towns, villages and vibrant city settings featured within this publication.

The resurgence of the Humber has in turn lent to a thirst for fresh talent being sought – new energy that will secure a lasting legacy for the region.

This, coupled with the Humber’s location, connectivity, educational excellence, work-life balance and emerging cultural offer, makes it a truly attractive place in which to live, work and invest.
