At the heart of it all…
Business is booming in Woking with a host of
international businesses relocating to the Borough or expanding
their existing headquarters.

rail links to London and the South West, its proximity to both
Heathrow and Gatwick airports and a highly trained local workforce,
the Borough is already the home of Formula 1 racing giants, McLaren,
computer services and software company Cap Gemini Ernst and
Young; communications giants Telewest; Royal Blue
and The Ambassadors Theatre Group. A myriad of diverse
smaller businesses are also located within the Borough. Full details
