Cumbria Inward Investment Agency

Dear Mr. Lay,

A colleague of mine in England indicated that Enron Corp. was considering expanding in Europe and that England was in the mix of location options. In the course of your investment deliberations it is worth considering Cumbria in northwest England. Located two hours north of Manchester in the magnificent Lake District of the United Kingdom, Cumbria offers American companies a prime location for manufacturing, distribution and customer service faculties.

Cumbria County is home to dozens of U.S. firms who chose to locate in the County for a host of reasons including a stable, educated, motivated workforce, very competitive real estate prices and operating costs that are among the lowest in Europe. Located away from congested and expensive urban centers; within a couple of hours of international airports in Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow, Cumbria combines low operating costs and a secure "out of town" feel with an excellent logistical infrastructure assuring cost effective access to markets all over Europe.

Cumbria Inward Investment Agency is the County-wide organization tasked with providing free and confidential assistance to firms considering Cumbria as a location for their business. CIIA has an office near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania staffed by inward investment professionals who have worked with scores of American companies expanding to Europe over the last 15 years. The U.S. office is responsible for coordinating the exchange of information between your company and the professionals "on the ground" in Cumbria. Please give us a call or drop us an email if we can be of help as you go through the process of finding the best European location for your business. In the meantime please visit our web site at
