"The importance of the Gatwick Diamond is being increasingly recognised nationally and internationally. It is already the chosen base for many major businesses and has the commitment to growth which will attract many more. The Overview Forum is determined that the area will continue to develop as a diverse economy expanding with an increasing emphasis on such sectors as advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and ICT as well as expanding its more traditional strengths such as aviation and tourism."

"Back in April 2003 I was asked to lead an Initiative to improve the economic performance of the Area over a 10 year frame. From the outset it has been a business led initiative, focussing on the actions that business believes will make a real difference to economic performance. We have come a long way since then and there is still some way to go. Our vision is that by 2016 the Gatwick Diamond will be a world class, internationally recognised business location achieving sustainable prosperity. The Gatwick Diamond is an excellent place to live, work and invest. We want to keep it that way. Help us to turn our vision into reality."
