In light of its long-time stature as one of England’s key religious centres, when one mentions Exeter to you, you are likely to be especially put in mind of Exeter Cathedral, which was founded in the 11th century and continues to serve this part of Devon with distinction.

However, with Exeter Airport also lying east of the city and acting as a base for both Flybe and TUI Airways – formerly Thomson Airways – the area is also an obvious focus of many business aviation recruiting efforts.

So, could Exeter be where you enter the next momentous phase of your aerospace career?

Much more than just a tourist magnet

Even putting aside the city’s formidable transport connections that also include the likes of the M5 motorway and Exeter St David’s railway station, there are plenty of reasons for day-trippers to love Exeter. The city can, after all, trace its history back some 2,000 years, so there’s a lot to see and experience for those seeking a historic ambience in their choice of city break.

But Exeter is also a crucial economic centre in Devon, with tens of thousands of people typically commuting into the city from nearby towns each day. There are also substantial shopping facilities here across the likes of the Princesshay and Guildhall shopping centres, showing that Exeter is a homely, convenient and rewarding place to live, not just visit.

Nonetheless, it’s also difficult to overlook Exeter’s wealth of tourist-friendly attractions that can be as much of a joy for locals as they are for visitors, as well as such historic landmarks as the Clock Tower, Devon County Hall and Iron Bridge that do much to lend the city its enchanting character.
