The creative and digital sector is growing twice as fast as the rest of the UK economy, creating significant numbers of high-skill jobs and making a bigger than ever contribution to the countrys export success.
The sector is vital to the successful economic future of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, already home to some of our best known and most innovative creative and digital businesses from Paul Smith to Games Workshop, from Unidays to CSS Media. *Learn more here* [ [link removed] ].
