Derbyshire Now – 1st May 2026 Edition

Invest in Derbyshire

Invest in Derbyshire is launching a new campaign to grow investment in the county’s economy, showcasing a portfolio of development opportunities worth billions of pounds.

Working with district and borough councils, our Invest in Derbyshire campaign will be launched at an event on Thursday 7 May at Toyota’s Burnaston car manufacturing plant – one of the most successful inward investments in the county’s history.

Speakers include representatives from Toyota, East Midlands Freeport, Devonshire Group, the University of Derby and Business Peak District.

More than 100 investors, developers, businesses and local government partners are expected to attend the event, which marks the start of a concerted effort to build on Derbyshire’s reputation as a home for industries critical to the future of the regional and national economy.

Investors and developers who haven’t yet secured their place are encouraged to register for this free event via EventBrite.
