BRADFORD is the third-best city in the UK for business trips, according to a new study.

Card machine provider Dojo carried out the research in a bid to reveal the cities which accommodate business travel the best.

It used eight key metrics to define which cities ranked where.

They were: the cost of a three-course meal, average download speeds, average hotel costs, average hotel ratings, closest airports, average taxi fares, reported crime rates and the number of hotdesk spaces.

Bradford was given an index score of 60 out of 100, and was described by Dojo as being “perfect” for business travellers.

Dojo added: “Bradford has the lowest price for both three-course meals and taxi fares of all the cities analysed, offering residents a complete meal for £40 and a taxi ride for £6.55, perfect for any travellers looking to keep costs low.

“The average hotel rating in this city is 8.3, and a price of £103.01, meaning you’ll have a great stay for a great price on your business trip.”

Bristol topped the list, while Wolverhampton came second.

Leeds also made the top ten, ranking 8th.
