It’s official. In last Saturday’s Daily Telegraph the city of Bristol enjoyed a lengthy feature, over two broadsheet pages, extolling its virtues. It enlightened readers as to some of the reasons why, according to a survey by MoneySuperMarket, Bristol “outperforms other cities in terms of economy and quality of life – it’s the wealthiest, happiest city in Britain”.
The feature article goes on to introduce its national readership to the drama of the Avon Gorge and Brunel’s iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, the city’s proximity to open countryside and magnificent travel links, the lively, historic harbourside, our two thriving universities (the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England), high employment rates and lots more in the pipeline. Soon to be added to Bristol’s long list of attractions is the super-high-speed link to London and the new, £90 million pound Bristol Arena.

Business and pleasure in Bristol: spring and Easter
There’s always plenty going on in Bristol, for the business and the pleasure visitor, no matter what season. At the moment, though, there’s definitely an added expectant buzz here as the days begin to draw out. In under two weeks the clocks will go forward, which I always find is a huge kick-start to get out and about and explore, whether in a city for work or for a fun weekend.
As I write, both major political parties competing in the 2015 election have stressed in recent days the importance of the South West’s thriving economy in national recovery, with Bristol as its heartland.
