Bexley Business & Investment Guide

11 / 32

Through the Bexley for Business
initiative, the Council is supporting
local businesses and promoting the
borough to new and expanding
companies. We have many strengths:
great connections to London, the
south east of England and Europe;
good value business accommodation;
a dedicated business support team;
quality housing and open spaces; and
a strong sense of community. We want
to build on those strengths to ensure
Bexley continues to thrive.
Bexley is a great place to do business. It is home to a wealth of diverse and
dynamic businesses, providing high quality products and services to the local
community, London and throughout the world.
Whatever stage you’re at – starting up, expanding or established – and whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, service
provider, restaurant or any other kind of business – we want to help you. Contact details for all the key services and
