Secure Document Storage in Basildon
Secure Document Storage in Basildon
Basildon is the largest town in the borough of Basildon in the county of Essex. Just 32 miles east of Central London, it is an important business hub. Home to companies employing approximately 77,000 people, Basildon is the second largest economy along the river Thames after Canary Wharf. Basildon’s location makes it an ideal option for both UK and overseas companies seeking to invest in the region. Exceptional road and rail links, access to nearby airports, and a new deep-sea container port provide easy access to London, South East England and Europe.
This, coupled with costs that are just a fraction of those charged in London, has attracted a host of big businesses to the town. Ford Motor Company Ltd, New Holland Agriculture, Leonardo, Honeywell/MK Electric, Gardner Aerospace, and Konica Minolta are just a few of the advanced engineering firms based in the area. Costa Coffee has recently opened Europe’s biggest coffee ‘roastery’, quadrupling Costa’s capacity from 11,000 tonnes per year to 45,000 tonnes. Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides healthcare for people across Basildon and south west Essex. As well as Basildon Hospital and Orsett Hospital, the trust includes The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre and Billericay St. Andrew’s Centre.
An ambitious and proactive local Council
Basildon’s town council proactively engages with the local business community to ensure it has the support it needs to thrive in a fast changing economic environment. The council’s Economic Development team is dedicated to supporting businesses already located there, and to attract new firms. Basildon’s ‘Enterprise Corridor’ between Dunton and Burnt Mills, is the largest area for employment in the borough and the Essex Thames Gateway Sub region. The project was aimed at tackling congestion and improving capacity at critical bottlenecks along, within and approaching the corridor.

In addition to engineering, logistics, transport and freight, Basildon has also attracted important financial and retail companies. These include First Data, International Financial Data Services (IFDS), and PMS International.
