Despite these exceptional links to centres of business, Watford remains a more affordable option when considering relocating a business to premises in the South East. It is also easier for employees to get on the property ladder in the town.
Whilst Watford is easy to reach from other cities and for international visitors, there is plenty within the town to retain long established companies. Possibly the most renowned business in the area is Warner Brother's Leavesden studios, which invested £100 million in opening new studios in 2012 and has now announced further expansion, with the construction of a 35,000 ft-squared sound stage, and two further sound stages on the site.
Watford has many plans in place for further development that will benefit existing companies in the town as well as providing more facilities to attract new businesses. For a start, Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership has recently received £200million in Government funding to invest in transport, infrastructure, skills development and a number of business support projects, some of which will be spent in Watford.
Already underway is the Western Gateway Project, which will see a new tube station opening next to two of the town's largest business parks in 2017. There is also the redevelopment of Charter Place as a modern retail centre and the construction of Watford Health Campus over the coming decade. This new development will include 120,000 square meters of commercial space, along with housing and hospital facilities.
Watford Chamber and Watford for You projects currently offer a wealth of support for business start-ups, businesses that are looking to grow and those wanting to attract investment. You can get further information online, or by attending one of the annual events that are open to local companies throughout the year.
There are regular networking events across the town to encourage business partnerships that will further strengthen the local economy. It is at these types of event that you may find a potential new customer or the supplier of a product or service that your company could benefit from, such as a reliable business courier.
