Bristol business and tech activity clusters as bank, cyber campus and consultancy expand

Bristol is seeing a cluster of business and technology developments this week, pointing to its growing role as a regional hub.

The Golden Valley cyber campus project is inviting young people to join a board that will help shape the £1 billion development, with interests sought in technology, AI, education, business, real estate and marketing, The Business Desk South West reported [1].

Meanwhile, Triodos Bank UK, which is headquartered in Bristol, has appointed a new head of business banking as it looks to grow its impact-focused lending book, the same outlet said [3]. Bristol 24/7 also reported the appointment [5].

Construction consultant Drees & Sommer UK has taken space at Queen Square to open a permanent Bristol office to serve the South West pipeline, The Business Desk South West reported [2].

Separately, Bristol 24/7 reported that a Bristol business founder has been named in a list of the most influential women in tech [4].

Taken together, the developments involve a Bristol-headquartered bank expanding its team, a new permanent city-centre office for a construction consultant, and a major regional cyber campus seeking young board members.
