The core investment and regional promotion function of GDI has been retained and integrated as Invest in the Gatwick Diamond – now a defined brand and delivery arm of gdb. 

The Invest in the Gatwick Diamond website is a dedicated platform designed to promote the region and support inward investment.  It provides clear, practical information for businesses or investors considering locating, or expanding, in the area and acts as a single gateway for investment enquiries and connections across the Gatwick Diamond. 

The merger represents an important milestone in the 70 year history of gdb and GDI. Both organisations have independently attracted, promoted and supported businesses of all sizes across Sussex, Surrey and Kent. However, gdb and GDI have recognised the changing business environment and economic challenges of recent years which means now is the time to offer the region’s 45,000 businesses a more streamlined, representative, single organisation to strengthen the business voice of the South East.
