Location
Dundee, Scotland's fourth largest City, with a resident population of circa 150,000 persons (National Records of Scotland) is located on the East coast of Scotland approximately mid-way between Aberdeen (circa 105 kilometres (65 miles) to the north) and Edinburgh (circa 96 kilometres (60 miles) to the south). The city benefits from excellent transport links with daily flights to London (City Airport) and Belfast (from 2020) and rail services into London (Kings Cross). The ongoing Dundee Waterfront £1 Billion re-development has attracted major investment into the city with the opening of the V & A Museum in September 2018, significantly contributing to Dundee’s growth as a major business and tourism centre
The city is dominated by 27 major employers which all employ more than 300 people. The public sector trio of Dundee City Council, NHS Tayside and the University of Dundee are the three largest employers with private companies such as DC Thomson, NCR, and supermarket retailers Asda and Tesco being among other major employers. Dundee’s traditional ‘Jute, Jam and Journalism’ industries have given way to more modern creative industries such as mobile and desktop gaming, software development and life sciences in partnership with Dundee and Abertay Universities. The Port of Dundee is one of the largest economic generators in the City and is Scotland’s main agricultural hub with over 250,000 tonnes of agricultural products moving through the port annually. The port has been identified as one of Scotland’s top locations for renewable manufacturing by Scottish Enterprise under the National Renewables Infrastructure Plan and is within the Scottish Government’s Low Carbon Renewables East Enterprise Area
