South East: JLL responds to proposed ‘tech corridor’ linking Oxford and Cambridge

Commenting on today's Autumn Statement, James Finnis, head of South East Office Agency at JLL, said: “The chancellor’s proposed formation of a ‘tech corridor’ between Oxford and Cambridge is both welcome and achievable and will be of huge financial benefit to the local economies of both cities, as well as the wider UK plc.

“Improving connectivity between the two cities via the imminent Expressway is an important step to achieving this and continued investment in infrastructure and local amenities in and around these two cities is vital to ensuring the ‘tech corridor’ can capitalise on the surrounding highly-educated demographic.  

“While both robust cities in their own right, collectively drawing on their strengths will ensure they remain competitive on a global scale and attractive to a host of multi-national organisations.”
