Derby submits bid for GBR headquarters

https://www.derby.gov.uk/news/2022/march/derby-submits-bid-for-gbr-headquarters/

We're thrilled to hear that Derby is bidding for the city to become the home of Great British Railways (GBR). The bid outlines why Derby would be a good fit for the new headquarters, as well as promoting its 180 years of rail history.


Uniquely, Derby is home to major players in the automotive and aviation industry including Rolls-Royce and Toyota, making it uniquely placed for GBR to benefit from cross-sector collaboration and a highly skilled workforce.


Learn by Design have been actively involved in Derby since 2008 promoting programmes such as iRail Rail Forum Midlands (RFM), Destination Rai, as well as having strong links with Toyota Education and Rolls-Royce via our school education sessions and Career Related Learning across the region.


The bid has the backing of all three counties, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, as well as support from 22 East Midlands based MP's. We look forward to hearing more about this exciting opportunity for the region.
