The launch supports Mayor Jason Perry’s ambition to drive economic growth across the borough by attracting new investment, supporting businesses and promoting Croydon as a destination to invest, develop, work, live and visit.
Originally established in 2010 by White Label Creative alongside a group of leading developers and Croydon Council, Develop Croydon was created as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) to provide a collective voice for the borough’s development community. Over the past 16 years, it has grown into a partnership of developers, businesses, landowners, education providers and public sector organisations, championing regeneration and investment across Croydon.
During that time, the organisation has helped showcase more than £1.2 billion of inward investment, supported the delivery of around 18,000 new homes, and promoted a borough with an economy now worth £11.7 billion.
As Croydon enters its next phase of growth, the refreshed identity reflects both Develop Croydon’s and the local authority’s growing ambition to be recognised as one of the UK’s most significant economic opportunities.
The new site reflects where Croydon is now and where it is headed. It brings together the investment case, the growth sectors, the development pipeline and the business environment in one place — creating single destination for investors, developers, occupiers and businesses exploring opportunities in Croydon.
Located at the heart of London’s and the South East’s economies, Croydon is one of the UK’s most significant investment opportunities. The borough is a key player in four of the Government’s Industrial Strategy priority growth sectors and continues to attract developers, investors, occupiers and businesses looking to invest in its future.
The new Invest in Croydon platform brings together the borough’s investment proposition, growth sectors, development pipeline and business environment in one place, creating a single destination for investors, developers, occupiers and businesses exploring opportunities in Croydon.
The platform has been developed with the support of Mayor Jason Perry and reflects his commitment to championing investment, strengthening partnerships with the private sector and ensuring Croydon remains open for business as the borough continues to deliver long-term growth.
More than £1.2 billion of inward investment has come into the borough during my last four years. We’re seeing renewed confidence from investors, and I believe Croydon’s best years are still ahead of us. My mission now is about making Croydon impossible to ignore.
Invest in Croydon marks the next chapter. It reflects our renewed focus on attracting investment, championing opportunity and ensuring Croydon continues to grow as one of London’s leading destinations for business, development and regeneration.
