Plymouth is a large city with a population of 241,000 people, and a further 100,000 people in its economic hinterland.  It is home to many leading UK and foreign-owned companies. A vibrant city, Plymouth has a historic maritime quarter, and is now benefiting from considerable new investment in its retail, business and health infrastructures.

The key opportunities for Plymouth are to grow its business base, create more jobs and investment by raising the levels of business start-ups and the survival rates of existing businesses.

PBG is a business led partnership, supported by many of the city’s leading businesses, business groups and key public sector stakeholders, around an agreed vision which is to develop a strong, dynamic and growing Plymouth economy that provides opportunities for all.
