Gatwick Diamond
The Gatwick Diamond is a name invented as a brand for a loosely defined economic area that surrounds Gatwick Airport, some 30 miles south of London. It stretches from the edge of London and the North Downs in the North to the edge of Brighton and the South Downs in the South, from Horsham in the West to East Grinstead in the East. It is an area covering 400 square miles which benefits from two ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ - the Surrey Hills and the South Downs National Park. It has a population of 680,000 and its economy generates £20.7bn GDP. 12 million people live within one hour’s drive. There are 406,000 economically active people in the Gatwick Diamond; 81% of the working age population is economically active. 74% of Gatwick Diamond workers are residents (Annual population Survey 2011). The Unemployment level is very low at 1.4%. The Gatwick Diamond is home to 45,000 businesses including many UK and European Headquarters. Some of these companies are: Unilever, Exxon Mobil, Toyota, Doosan, Thales Group, Varian Medical Systems, Elekta, Nestle, EDF Energy, Edwards Vacuum, Canon Inc. and G4S. It also contains the Manor Royal Business Park – the largest business park in the UK,〔(Manor Royal Homepage )〕 containing 550 businesses and employing around 35,000 people.
== The Gatwick Diamond Initiative ==
The Gatwick Diamond Initiative is a business led private/public partnership that was established in April 2003 to improve the economic performance of the Area.[(Gatwick Diamond Initiative )〕 It now includes 7 local borough/district councils (Horsham, Crawley, Mid Sussex, Tandridge, Reigate & Banstead, Mole Valley and Epsom & Ewell) and two county councils (West Sussex and Surrey), as well as a range of private sector partners.]
One of its first actions was to arrange a meeting of the principal stakeholders (both public and private sector) to determine what actions could be taken to improve the economic performance of the Area. Business leaders considered that the first priority should be to give the Area an image and identity. The Initiative therefore launched the “Gatwick Diamond” on 15 July 2004. Since then the term “Gatwick Diamond” has achieved widespread recognition and acceptance. It was first referred to in parliament by Nicholas Soames, MP for Mid Sussex, on 13 Jun 2006.〔Hansard http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/vo060613/halltext/60613h0002.htm〕 With the local authorities and government agencies to address the economic needs of the area to ensure it is a world class place to do business. The Gatwick Diamond Initiative lobbies government and the public sector on issues that prevent businesses in the area from growing; they encourage international trade; promote, attract and help UK and foreign inward investors looking to locate in the area; campaign on issues such as Air Passenger Duty, second runway and the Gatwick Express; and to encourage the three FE colleges at Redhill, Crawley and Epsom to work together with the University of Brighton and University for the Creative Arts to provide a greater Higher and Further Education offer that meets business needs.
