A home for the world's business community
Along with its rail, air and road connections, Reading’s business credentials are second to none. Whether it was its highly-trained workforce or the array of leading international brands who came first is hard to say, but they’re a perfect marriage.
While the breadth of businesses attracted to the city is tremendously diverse, it has a particular strength in high growth sectors, such as the creative and digital, professional, scientific, technology and other knowledge-based fields.
In the town centre itself, an array of new office developments, offering over 2 million sqft of workspace, have sprung up around the new station – adding to the 5 million sqft that already exists in Reading’s central business district.
There also are a number of business parks on the outskirts of the city, particularly along the M4, which are home to a range of major corporations’ UK and European headquarters.
