Marketing Jobs in Nottingham

Nottingham's location in the midlands has helped its establishment as a key centre of industry over the past hundred years. Recently, however, the city has embarked on a journey of transformation - finding considerable success in the service sector as tourism continues to thrive. Consequently, those considering searching for marketing jobs or sales jobs in Nottingham, even at this difficult time, are in a prime position to benefit from a city with a firm historical past and a bright future as a tourist and business destination.

Despite the move towards services and tertiary business in the city, Industry is still a significant employer for those with interest in a career in marketing. Engineering conglomerate, Siemens, who specialize in communications and transportation, have a UK base which contributes to its worldwide workforce of over 480,000 people. Similarly, swimwear manufacturer: Speedo, also have a factory in the city - and with the popularity of lycra since the 70s have remained the market leader in the production of swimming briefs.

Over the last decade or so, many creative industries have begun to flourish in Nottingham. Many graphics, textiles, and digital design companies have become established. Branding and graphic design company, Purple Circle, are one such success story. After being established in 1991, they have grown to become the best choice for branding and design solutions for the big and small companies of the city, including: Boots, Nottingham City Council, Speedo, and The Treehouse Company.

The two shopping centres (Victoria Centre and Westfield Broadmarsh) at the heart of Nottingham, are increasingly becoming attractive to more and more visitors from in and outside of the city. The former is home to 116 shops including the flagship store for Boots and a large indoor market. Westfield is home to 86 shops as well as market-stalls, and is set to undergo a huge £700 million regeneration.

Of course there are many other reasons the city is popular with tourists. The legend of Robin Hood and its rich history make Nottingham a great destination for all the family. Although Nottingham Castle is referenced in Robin Hood, today the site is home to Ducal Mansion built in the 1600s and doubles as a museum and exhibition space. The City of Caves is another attraction in Nottingham, and has been dated back to as far as 1270. Today visitors can explore the underground network by entrance at Broadmarsh.
