South West England has one of the UK's fastest growing economies, with GDP growth outstripping the national average. A number of renewable energy and energy efficiency companies have relocated into the region in the last few years. Dominant factors in their decision appears to be:

• Quality of life: Four of the region's six counties top the UK as 'the best in which to live and work’.
• A good recruitment environment: The south west population is among the most highly-qualified in the UK, with over 27 per cent educated to degree standard or above.
• Good transport connections: 52 per cent of England's population is within a two hour drive.
