Why Take The Leap?
It's a move that makes financial sense for potential employees considering relocation, each region offers compelling financial benefits.
Wichita, KS: High Value Living Without the High Price Tag
With a lower cost of living, more available space and better rental affordability, Wichita offers a lifestyle that stretches salaries significantly further than many U.S. hubs. Comprised of several vibrant districts such as Delano, Riverside, and College Hill, the city blends affordability with character, without compromising on culture, entertainment, or amenities.
Mentor, OH: Suburban Affordability Meets City Convenience
In Ohio’s Cleveland region, communities like Mentor, Willoughby, Downtown Cleveland, and Lakewood provide accessible, suburban living at below-average national costs. From groceries to healthcare to housing, everyday expenses remain comfortably lower, making relocation a financially strategic decision for new starters and their families.
Derby, UK: One of the Country’s Most Affordable Graduate Cities
Officially, the UK’s most affordable city for new graduates, Derby offers more accessible housing, a thriving job market, and ongoing investment across retail, arts, and culture. With strong transport links and close proximity to the Peak District, it provides excellent value and promotes a fulfilling lifestyle.

Culture, Community, and Quality of Life
But relocation isn’t just about cost, it’s about the experience and benefits of living somewhere welcoming, with a strong sense of community, and an ever-developing cultural landscape.
• Wichita has a lot going on: National Parks, a large county zoo, and a growing craft brewery scene mean there's every walk and stage of life. It's nicknamed the 'Air Capital of the World', and for Bloc, it's also a key location where you'd be working directly with some of our biggest clients.
• Mentor sits on the edge of Lake Erie and has plenty of cultural offerings across a range of different industries and hobbies. It's the birthplace of Rock n Roll, has a solid food and arts scene downtown, alongside quieter suburban neighbourhoods a short drive from the Bloc office.
• Derby is a city with a lot of history, think independent museums, Victorian architecture, and traditional pubs, but that heritage lies very much within a modern and forward-thinking area. There's countryside on the doorstep, a large shopping centre, and a football club with a very loyal fanbase. It's a practical, affordable place to live with plenty to keep you busy outside of work.
Proximity Matters: In-House Capabilities
Our expertise and innovative solutions are driven by the ability to problem-solve face-to-face, with many project breakthroughs coming from conversations and real-world testing. So, along with shorter commutes and reduced travel costs, relocating closer to your office has a significantly positive impact on your professional development.
