TW.WORKS

Royal Tunbridge Wells is one of the business capitals of Kent, if not the South East.

Characterised by our thriving business community, diverse buildings, bustling shops and open green spaces, the town has a huge opportunity to support you, your workers and businesses.

Recently voted the best place to live in Kent in 2024 by the luxury lifestyle website Muddy Stiletto’s, Tunbridge Wells combines a diverse economic landscape with an area of outstanding natural beauty, giving every opportunity for a perfect work life balance.

Are you a small business or flexible worker? You can benefit from having a Home Office From Home just a short walk or drive away, but with a clearer workspace for greater headspace.

Are you a larger corporate looking to move your HQ to a thriving town that gives your employees a great work life balance? Or perhaps you are moving towards a hub and spoke model, with a satellite office in the town? You can join the other big name HQs and regional bases already here, such as AXA, Cripps, Childrensalon and Markerstudy Insurance.

Are you a Developer looking for the right opportunity to respond to the huge demand for offices and a thriving residential market? Come here to create new space for all those now choosing TW to live, work and play like Dandara who have built thriving communities in the town and now have their SouthEastern HQ here too.

Here you can find out why Tunbridge Wells is the best destination to base your business, do business or work, and hear from some of those who have already chosen TW for their varying business objectives.

Corporates – You’re In Good Company

Royal Tunbridge Wells has long been home to established corporates like Axa, Childrensalon, Markerstudy, Cripps and Thomson Snell & Passmore. In the last few years however, most of these businesses have committed to taking on more or new space in the town, for the long-term, which shows a commitment and a recognition that Tunbridge Wells is a place businesses want to make their home.

Royal Tunbridge Wells has a strong and diverse business community including 19% in wholesale/retail, 15% in human health/social work, 9.7% in professional, science and technology, 8.7% in education, 7.7% in hospitality, 7% in finance and insurance and 4% in information and communications. This last sector has grown the fastest, seeing a 29% increase year on year between 2021 and 2022.

Supported by a strong restaurant, retail and hotel offer, links to London and a pipeline of talent from the well-respected local schools, corporates are served well, whether they have a large UK or Global HQ in the area, or a strong regional office. With many now considering taking flexible space in the area to help their employees who live here commute less, we are seeing a post-Covid change towards greater flexibility and wellbeing.

Here you can find out why many corporates have already chosen Tunbridge Wells for their business, their employees and their wellbeing and why they think the town is perfect for more big business.
