Sheffield's name is synonymous with quality. Which other city can boast that its very name holds recognition of manufacturing excellence all over the world? Sheffield built its global reputation in steel production and to this day the city still manufactures over 500,000 tonnes of stainless steel per year.
However, the city is changing rapidly and leading the world in many new technologies and applications. Building on the expertise in materials and metals, Sheffield is now a leading manufacturer in medical technologies, aerospace and automotive components. The research and technological expertise from our two universities, The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, provide a superb platform for companies to develop and apply cutting edge technologies in a wide range of industries from genomics and biotechnology to software development.
Sheffield also has a thriving service sector. The city is home to major operations of such household names as HSBC, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Dixons, Nationwide Building Society, Abbey, Norwich Union and law firms DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary, Irwin Mitchell and Nabarro Nathanson.
An additional benefit of working in Sheffield is the unrivalled leisure and entertainment the city has to offer. One third of the city is within the Peak District National Park and half of the population live within 15 minutes of open countryside. Sheffield Theatres is the largest regional theatre complex and independent award-winning Showroom cinema is one of the largest in the country. The city's sports facilities provide a unique combination of world class venues including Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield Arena and iceSheffield.
