Cumbria: a £5 billion economy open for business

A tour hosted by Invest in Cumbria for French company MPH Groupe at the end of November,
barely a week after the county suffered widespread flooding, illustrates how the Cumbria's inward investment programme is still forging ahead despite the recent deluge.
That's according to law firm Martineau, which has produced a post-flood report on Cumbria, including an account of MPH's search for local
companies to partner in bids on oil,
gas, nuclear and defence contracts in the UK.
The report also covers the provisional approval of three sites in Cumbria for new nuclear power facilties, and summarises a series of recent Government National Policy Statements.
