As one of the UK’s newest cities, having been granted city status in 2012, the amount of businesses considering a relocation to Chelmsford has increased over recent years. A Chelmsford relocation would provide a company with a fantastic location in a historically significant economic centre. Situated in the heart of the London commuter belt, with trains to the capital taking as little as 30 minutes, the city’s population is expected to escalate considerably over the coming years as a result of companies relocating to Chelmsford due to its close proximity to London and growing reputation as a commercially successful city.

Since the opening of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, this once rural market town has become one of the nation’s most significant commercial locations, having been home to a large number of industrial pioneers including the UK’s first electrical engineering works and the world’s first “wireless” factory. The city’s impressive professional facilities, which include its own Business Park, have proven to be extremely advantageous for many businesses. Global Marine Systems, an internationally operational submarine communication provider use the business park to house their head office, from there they have grown into a global company, opening offices across Asia and North America. Another notable company that uses Chelmsford as its headquarters is the M&G Group, one of the UK’s leading investment managers and part of the Prudential Group, from their head office the company currently runs six of the top ten largest UK funds and has an operating income of over £200 million. These, along with other successful locally based companies, demonstrate that Chelmsford has a proven track record for supplying businesses from various industry sectors with the ideal location for growth.
