The North West of England, comprising the counties of Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, and Cumbria, is home to major cities such as Liverpool and Manchester. Historically known for its strong industrial heritage driven by the rail and textile industries, the region continues to thrive with notable cultural heritage that rivals London for tourism.
In 2024, the North West maintains a robust manufacturing presence, with significant contributions from sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food, automotive, defense, and aerospace. The region is recognised as the UK's leading manufacturing hub, contributing £28.2 billion to the sector and employing 314,000 people. The aerospace and automotive sectors are particularly prominent in Lancashire, while Cheshire has strengths in chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
M&A activity in the North West has rebounded strongly since the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The region is now one of the UK's busiest for deal volumes, benefiting from a diverse economy that includes advanced manufacturing, digital technology, financial services, and health care. The North West's strategic investments and high-growth sectors have positioned it well for continued M&A activity and economic growth.
Manchester has emerged as a leading tech city in Europe, with a vibrant startup ecosystem supported by over 10,000 digital and tech businesses. This growth is complemented by significant public investment in infrastructure projects like HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, which are expected to enhance regional connectivity and economic opportunities.
Overall, the North West's combination of industrial strength, cultural appeal, and strategic investments make it a dynamic region poised for continued economic expansion in 2024.
