KENT’ S QUIET GIANTS

NOT ALL OF KENT’ S LANDMARKS COME WITH TURRETS, TASTING ROOMS OR SEA VIEWS … HIDDEN AMONGST THE COASTLINE, COUNTRYSIDE AND THRIVING MARKET TOWNS ARE BUSINESSES WHOSE INFLUENCE REACHES FAR BEYOND THE COUNTY’ S BORDERS. FROM GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS TO FLAGSHIP FACILITIES, THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE QUIET GIANTS SHAPING INDUSTRIES, SUPPORTING LOCAL EMPLOYMENT AND PROVING THAT SOME OF KENT’ S BIGGEST SUCCESS STORIES ARE HIDING BEHIND VERY FAMILIAR POSTCODES.
