Colchester is a great place to work, benefiting from both an attractive environment and excellent communication links.

skip The City of London (Liverpool Street railway station), London Stansted Airport, Harwich International Port, Felixstowe Port and the neighbouring towns of Chelmsford and Ipswich can all be reached within 50 minutes.

Colchester benefits from a broad-based economy without an over-dependence on any specific industries. However, the majority of jobs fall within the service sector, including health, defence and the public sector generally.

The local economy also benefits from a broad range of educational centres, from the finest selective state schools, through leading language schools to the University of Essex and the Colchester Institute.

It also makes it the perfect place for running your business.
