A great place for business

Woking's location 25 miles to the south-west of London has played an integral part in the Borough's history and continues to play a significant role in its development.

With its unique combination of attractive environment, excellent transport links, locally high standards of education, workforce skills and business support, the Borough enjoys a reputation as a quality location in which to live and work.

Originally an agricultural and market gardening centre, the modern town of Woking grew rapidly after the development of the railway link in the late nineteenth century.

Today, it is home to many leading companies, including the McLaren Technology Centre, computer services and software company CapGemini, and the European headquarters of KFC and Pizza Hut International.

Attractive countryside, and top notch retail and entertainment facilities couple with a strong enterprise culture make Woking an excellent location for business and pleasure.
