The East of England encompasses the counties of Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Cambridgeshire. The region maintains its diverse economic landscape, with the southern areas still heavily influenced by proximity to London, while the rest of the region features a mix of medium-sized cities and rural or coastal areas. The region's key sectors remain services and financial services, with manufacturing and ICT also playing significant roles.
In 2024, the East of England is poised to be one of the UK's fastest-growing regions, with forecasts predicting an average annual growth of 2.1% between 2024-26, matching the UK average. This growth is expected to be driven by the strength of knowledge-based sectors, particularly in information and communications, administrative and support services, and professional services.
The region's economic resilience is evident in its employment outlook, with forecast average annualised employment growth of 1.4% from 2024 to 2026, surpassing the UK average of 1.3%. Cities like Peterborough and Cambridge are leading this growth, with projected annual average growth rates of 2.2% and 2.0% respectively.
Regarding M&A activity, the East of England has seen a dynamic landscape in 2024. While deal volumes have experienced a slight decrease compared to previous years, deal values have surged significantly.
