About Derby
Derby can be found on the banks of the river Derwent in the county of Derbyshire. Whilst the city has had a cathedral since 1927, it wasn’t until 1977 that it was granted city status. There has been a settlement in the area dating back as far as the Romans, with the area having a rich history that can be traced through the Anglo-Saxons and then the Vikings. Whilst the original Derby was a market town during the industrial era, it grew in popularity and in the 19th century, it became a centre of the Rail Industry in Britain.
Derby is famous for being the site of the world’s first factory. The Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site is now a museum with over 50,000 artefacts and a 300-year history.
The city is widely considered to be an economic powerhouse when it comes to manufacturing. It is the biggest rail city anywhere in Europe and home to a number of car manufacturers as well as companies within both the aerospace and rail industries.
There are a staggering seven aerospace companies with bases in Derby, employing around 1,400 people. Major employers in the aerospace sector include Pattonair and Rvl Group. When it comes to the rail industry Alstom’s Litchurch Lane Works is the largest manufacturing facility globally in the sector and based right here in Derby. They employ 2,000 people, and a third of their employees are within the UK. Other major employers in Derby include Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Bloor Investments, who specialise in home building, and Boots the pharmacists.
Getting to Derby
As locations go, Derby is very centrally located, which makes it an excellent destination to access from all directions. Getting here by car is easy. The city centre is just a 15-minute drive from junction 24 of the M1, which connects the city to London in the South and Leeds in the North. Derby is also accessible via the A6, A50, A38 and the A52. The bus station in Derby, which is centrally located, is part of a regular National Express route.
East Midlands Airport is the closest airport to Derby and is serviced by flights from other cities within the UK and also some European cities. The journey from the airport to Derby centre is just 19 miles by car, and there are regular buses and trains connecting the two, with journeys taking between 35-45 minutes.
Getting to Derby by train is another good option, with 35 trains per day between London and Derby for a journey that takes around 93 minutes. From Nottingham, Leicestershire and Birmingham, the train journey takes less than 30 minutes.
Where to stay
If your project management course in Derby will be taking place over a couple of days, and most of them will, then you will need to find a hotel that you can use as a base for the duration of your course. There are plenty of good quality hotels available in Derby.Holiday Inn Riverlights, an IHG Hotel (DE1 2AY)
Right in the heart of Derby is this thoroughly modern hotel with its own onsite fitness centre. 8 miles from East Midlands Airport and just a short walk from the nearest train station, the hotel is well placed in terms of accessibility. Due to its city centre location, it should be noted that there is no parking at this hotel. Therefore, it may not be the right choice for anyone bringing their own vehicle. The hotel benefits from an excellent onsite restaurant and also offers a comprehensive selection of business facilities for its guests.The Stuart Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western (DE1 2QR)
