Hereford

Hereford is an old cathedral city that resides on the River Wye and east to the border of Wales. It is the largest settlement in Herefordshire. Its early industry rapidly became linked to his orchards and subsequently its cider production. Hereford is currently known for being a trading centre for agriculture in the rural areas. The local economy is made up primarily of employers such as Bulmers, owned by Heineken, Special Metals Wiggins LTD, Cargill Meats Europe, and Painter Brothers. Herefordshire is a global centre for cider productions. The unemployment rate is well below the national average at 3.3%

Education is another point of development seen in Hereford in recent times. New Mode Institute for Technology and Engineering took its first class in 2021. It is envisioned that this will be the starting point for a future university. Hereford also boasts five colleges. This makes Hereford an exciting opportunity for any franchise partner considering Pitman Training Centres!
