Information for journalists

Are you writing a feature on:

• Southampton's economy
• Commercial developments
• How Southampton City Council is supporting the growth of the city's economy

The Economic Development team will be pleased to provide information and support to journalists.

General information on Southampton is available on this website. However, we recognise that each feature will require different types and levels of information.

Economic Development can provide reports and liaise with corporate PR to obtain comment from Councillors and Officers from Southampton City Council. We can also co-ordinate the supply of photographs for major development schemes and general images of the city along with arranging familiarisation tours and site visits.

The Economic Development Team does have an annual communication plan. We will consider new advertising / sponsorship opportunities.

For all enquiries, please contact [Michelle Poulton]. If you prefer to speak with Michelle please tel 023 8083 4488
