of digital firms in the top 10% for growth. Like other top class industries, they need a highly educated workforce and are prepared to pay for it – the average advertised salary here is north of £46,000. While academic excellence is a given, our education providers are also focusing increasingly on other aspects, such as creativity, entrepreneurship and resilience. These are exciting, challenging and unpredictable times. Schools and colleges are, arguably, having to work harder than ever before to ensure their students are able to succeed against the odds and flourish whatever the circumstances. Get it right and they could – literally – make the world a better place. Well, someone has to.

While the future is – by definition – unknowable, the rise of high-tech firms here gives tantalising insights into what’s on the way. They also contribute massively to the local economy. We have an overall employment rate of 76%, with around 30,000 digital jobs alone, and around 15%
