You don’t just have to take our word for it. Northampton has been named Best Business Location – read all about it here
As for being a great place to live, we can’t do better than repeat the words of Charlotte Orton, Director of Rockingham:
"For a small county in the heart of England, Northamptonshire is a great place to live and work and offers a contrasting lifestyle with the busy towns" just minutes away from the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful countryside. Adding to this the central location, fast links to London and Europe, and plans for growth and investment I believe Northamptonshire has a huge amount to offer for people looking to invest or simply enjoy life.”
Location
Northamptonshire’s central location puts you right at the heart of things, with great transportation links going North, South, East and West by train, road and plane. For instance, getting to London is fast and convenient and takes less than 50 minutes by train.
Higher Education
In addition to a number of further education colleges, Northamptonshire boasts its own further education institution – The University of Northampton, where 10,000 students take part in a wide range of courses. Oxford and Cambridge universities are both within 45 minutes of the county.
