Sheffield facts

Sheffield has a great deal to offer, not all of which we can sum up in a neat statistic. Where we can though, the facts speak for themselves...

  • Sheffield's two universities generate over 12,000 graduates each year, with a broad range of qualifications
  • Over 2 million people live within 60 minutes of Sheffield, and 1.3 million of them are of working age
  • Sheffield is home to a diverse balance of manufacturing and service industries, as well as several strategic government departments
  • Several sectors are growing into globally significant flagships for the city, including the digital and creative industry, which is home to a significant e-learning cluster

And it's not all about work...half of our residents live within 15 minutes of open countryside.
