About us
East Midlands Freeport (EMF) is the UK’s only inland freeport, bringing the world’s most forward-thinking businesses to the centre of the UK. Backed by the UK government, we collaborate with local authorities, leading international businesses and regional universities to drive global innovation and make positive change to the East Midlands that will last for generations to come. We connect potential to opportunity. We will create tens of thousands of jobs in the area, boosting skills for local workers, and accelerating the region’s commitment to decarbonisation through sustainable development and low-carbon energy investments. As a freeport with unique advantages, we are already home to world-leading multinational companies attracted by benefits for businesses and investors, including special tax and customs benefits to support new development and business growth. Our central location connected by road, rail and air allows us to capitalise on the East Midlands’ strengths in advanced manufacturing, automotive, life sciences, logistics, low carbon energy and space exploration. This will boost the economy in the East Midlands and funds will be reinvested into the region to propel progress for local communities.

Talent and skills are a key part of what we’re about – at both our sites and at the Freeport as an organisation. While we’ve been busily recruiting new team members, we’ve also been hosting paid intern Shyami Tatawat, a year 12 student from De Lisle College who has joined us via Career Ready for the next few weeks to gain direct experience of one of her potential career options, marketing & communications. Working alongside our Head of Communications and Marketing Dan Cooper Chart.PR MCIPR she’s been learning about the freeports programme, pitching in with our communications activities, attending events and meeting leaders in business and politics. This week, she spent time chatting to our Chair Nora Senior CBE DL and East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward, finding out from them about the key roles they play in driving regional progress and talking to them about her own ambitions. #CRInterns #InvestInYoungTalent #marketing #comms #PR

Our East Midlands Intermodal Park (EMIP) is next to the nationally significant Toyota manufacturing plant. The site has the potential to become one of the next generation of rail-connected business parks. The proposed investment would also enable a significant modal shift, from road to rail freight, reducing carbon emissions for businesses within the region. Site specifications and benefits: · Expands national network of Strategic Rail Freight Interchanges. · 5.2 million square feet of state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution space. · Provides value-added accommodation for a variety of advanced manufacturers. · Potential for production, storage and use of hydrogen.
