Sheffield City Council's '˜North Shoring' campaign

Hide AdCoun Leigh Bramall, deputy council leader, said: “By attracting more legal services firms to Sheffield and creating jobs and importantly career opportunities, we can attract and retain the talent in the city. Sheffield has two world-class universities and 21,000 graduates enrol here each year. We undoubtedly have an amazing lifestyle offer for people who love big city life and the great outdoors, and this is something we are seeing as key in the decision-making process of firms looking to relocate outside of London.”
