With its prime location on the North East coast, Sunderland is home to a number of booming and innovative industries including engineering, advanced manufacturing, digital, technology, aerospace and more.
The UK’s biggest car manufacturing plant is based in our city, and Sunderland is a European centre for electric vehicle research and production.
