About Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire is divided into the world-famous Cotswolds, the Royal Forest of Dean and the Severn Vale.

The county’s twin urban hotspots are Gloucester and Cheltenham, with larger market towns such as Stroud, Tewkesbury, Cirencester and Lydney proving attractive and popular locations for a diverse range of businesses.

With its long tradition of business achievement, Gloucestershire is attractive to research bases, innovative businesses and organisations of all kinds who need to attract and retain the highest calibre of staff. Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association (CCFRA), Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), and even film special effects company, Snow Business, a favoured supplier to Hollywood, are all based within the county.

Gloucestershire offers a quality of life to businesses and families, which is second to none, with its stunning natural beauty, yet easy access to major urban areas via its natural position as a ‘border county’ with the M4 and M5 intersecting just to the south, providing fantastic access to the north, south, east and west.
