The meeting focused on promoting the Hi-Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands area as a great place to live, work, and visit. It highlighted the region's cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and career opportunities.
The Hi-Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands region is described as a special place with bustling market towns, picturesque villages, and vibrant communities rich in culture and heritage. The area is known for its natural Peak District landscapes and outdoor activities, attracting tourists and thrill-seekers year-round. Notable attractions include Buxton's natural mineral water and the Georgian Crescent, which is now the north's only five-star thermal spa hotel. The region also boasts significant architecture by Pigeon and strong ties to the arts and crafts movement.
The strategic alliance between Hi-Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands offers a wide range of career opportunities. The shared workforce delivers services to these two distinct areas, each with its own borough and corporate plans. This variety is seen as a positive aspect for professional development by the staff. The benefits package for employees includes family-friendly and flexible employment options, well-being support, learning and development opportunities, and perks such as leisure access and the cycle to work scheme.
The meeting concluded with an invitation for people to join the workforce and make a lasting impact in the region.
