While the last few years have witnessed some of the most dismal trading environments, one area of Belfast City Centre is bucking the trend having attracted more than 30 new businesses since the pandemic.
In recent times the Cathedral Quarter has become a nightlife hotspot with a variety of bars attracting both tourists and locals alike, however with the opening of the new Ulster University Belfast campus last year, businesses are flocking to the area.
Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) Manager Mr Damien Corr said that he is not surprised that creative entrepreneurs are drawn to the Cathedral Quarter.
