3035555 6 Foreword

It is with great pleasure that I introduce the third edition of the Havant Borough Business Directory. The borough is a vibrant and confident one - this is reflected in the range and quality of businesses based here, and the successes they have and continue to achieve.

Well connected by transport infrastructure, well served by colleges and academia, and wonderfully represented by both a strong manufacturing base, presence of global companies and a highly- skilled labour force, Havant really is a quality environment for business. Whether a fledging business or a relocating company, its unique offer is a compelling one.

As well as being a centre of business excellence, Havant also has a lot to offer employees. Nestled between a coastline (recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and the National Park, Havant Borough has an invigorating offer, and the transport connections that serve businesses so well ensure that residents are culturally and commercially supported. Havant’s great location – popular with tourists and water sport fans as well as residents - is a personal incentive as well as a practical business consideration.

This directory provides you with an insight into what the business offer is in the borough – I hope this is a first step into a long, fruitful and prosperous future together.

Sandy Hopkins Chief Executive Havant Borough Council
