Cheltenham - a place to do good business in
Conveniently located off Junctions 10, 11 and 11a of the M5, and with rail links to London, Cheltenham offers the infrastructure advantages of a progressive and growing urban environment with proximity to some of the UK's most beautiful scenery. Already a base for international businesses including Spirax Sarco, GE Aviation, Vertex, Ultra Electronics, Kohler Mira (as well as the government GCHQ facility), Cheltenham offers a unique combination of culture, transport links, higher and further education and a diverse, skilled workforce.
Cheltenham is a thriving town with a population of around 116,080 (2012) and productivity levels above the national average. We have a vibrant town centre with very few empty shops and one that boasts some of the best footfalls in the UK. With good rail and road connections the town is located less than 100 miles from London and is at the heart of an area that includes Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff.
