Nottingham is a regional hub for retail, education, healthcare and business services. Two large universities give it a big student population, and the city centre combines major shopping destinations with independent quarters such as Hockley and the Lace Market. Nottingham also hosts national-level sport at Trent Bridge and the City Ground, and big-name entertainment at the Motorpoint Arena and the city's theatres. taxi wrap advertising can help businesses reach audiences across these busy areas.
Large employers in health, retail and data services add a professional audience. With a tram network, busy bus stations and a compact centre, many people move around the city every day, and taxis are part of that flow. A taxi campaign offers a flexible way to be seen by all of these groups without being limited to a single fixed site.

Our taxi fleet across Nottingham
Nottingham's taxi routes cover a varied city. In the centre, cabs pass the Old Market Square, the Victoria Centre, the regenerated Broad Marsh area, the independent shops and bars of Hockley and Sneinton Market, and the historic Lace Market. To the west, journeys head to the University of Nottingham's University Park and Jubilee Campus, and the Queen's Medical Centre. Nottingham Trent University's City Campus sits in the centre, with its Clifton campus to the south.
Further out, routes take in the stadiums by the River Trent, West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold and Bulwell, with the ring road and the A52 linking them together. This spread lets a campaign reach students, shoppers, workers and residents in one programme. If you'd like help with artwork, our Design Support team can prepare designs for every format.
