Manchester
Are there any London designers who will be in Manchester on Tuesday?
A mate of Famous Rob's is organising a North vs South debate and needs some people from the London team. If you can help, leave a comment and Rob will get back to you.
So let me get this straight - if you're from the South you're a Londoner, right?
(And, no, I won't be in Manchester - or anywhere near it - on Tuesday. Although I did once live in Didsbury.)

Well no, but the vast majority of good southern design is there!
I wish I could afford Didsbury!

Do we have any other information on the debate? I'm well up for a North/South debate.
Oh, but I'm a designer based in Manchester, not London.

London and the South East between them take 48% of creative companies in the UK - 32% from London alone. (according to studies)

THE QUESTIONS
Is geographic location relevant to the creative industry?
Is there an advantage to being in the South when it comes to business and employment opportunities?
What is the distribution of creative talent through out the UK?
Do London and North West creative agencies output differ?
Where in the UK do you find the best creativity?
As a client where do you get the better deal?
As a creative where are the best clients spending there money?
