Croydon has changed. Its investment story has grown significantly and this website is changing to keep pace. For 16 years, Develop Croydon has been the voice of the borough’s business and development community, tracking £1.2 billion of inward investment, 18,000 new homes and an £11.7 billion economy that now rivals regional cities across the UK.
Today, Croydon’s story is bigger than development alone. It is a story of a borough at the heart of the UK’s two most economically successful regions, London and the South East, a key player in four of the government’s Industrial Strategy priority growth sectors, and a place that global investors, major occupiers and the Mayor of London are actively backing.
That growth calls for a broader platform. Invest in Croydon is the new definitive resource for investors, developers, businesses and occupiers looking at one of the UK’s most significant economic opportunities. Invest in Croydon is supported by the Mayor of Croydon and delivered by the Develop Croydon Forum in collaboration with our partners and the wider Croydon community.
The Forum’s mission has not changed: to promote Croydon as a place to invest, work and live. The platform has simply grown to match the opportunity. The new site reflects where Croydon is now and where it is headed. It brings together the investment case, the growth sectors, the development pipeline and the business environment in one place, presenting the full picture to the audiences who need it most.
