Bristol has been named as one of the best cities to relocate to in 2022.

After a long pandemic and many people working from home, cities that offer a better work-life balance are becoming a priority for relocators – with Bristol proving to be a top choice.

The city was ranked fourth on the top-ten list from Orega, behind Manchester, London and Birmingham.

“Flexible office space gives businesses the opportunity to quickly gain a presence in new locations across the country and tap into the local available talent,” said Laura Walker, the marketing and sales director at Orega.

“This is increasingly important as businesses hire from further afield as working patterns shift, and with reference to the younger demographic we have seen an increase in demand for office space, who want to meet and collaborate in person.”

Bristol has often claimed top spots in similar lists and last year, Bristol was named one of the best places to live in the UK by the Sunday Times.

“Pretty much everything is within walking distance, from the Arnolfini gallery to the M Shed museum, trendy North Street, the Tobacco Factory Theatres and the allotments in Southville,” it said in the newspaper.

Also on Orega’s list of best cities to relocate to in 2022  was Leeds, Cardiff and Liverpool.
