The North West of England is a vibrant, exciting and modern place to work and live. Dominating the region is Manchester, arguably England’s most exciting city and the unofficial capital of the north.

Just across the Pennines is Liverpool, fiercely proud of its own heritage and well able to put it up to its bigger neighbour in all matters from food to football. And, just to prove you can get away from it all, some of Britain’s most beautiful – and walkable – countryside, is in northern Lancashire and on the Isle of Man.
