Public Sector relocation

Ashford – the smart choice for business

OGC LeafletIf you’re looking to relocate or upgrade to give your public sector operation a competitive edge, Ashford represents a smart move.

 

The town is the new hub for business in the South East – the gateway to the continent, and a new economy for the region. And, with a population forecast to double in size over the next 20 years, Ashford is the fastest-growing town between London and the continent.

 

Ashford has unparalleled links to London, the rest of the UK, and the continent. The high speed rail service to London St Pancras takes just 37 minutes, while direct Eurostar connections mean that Brussels can be reached in 90 minutes and Paris in less than 2 hours.
