Full steam ahead for the

Following the huge success of its launch in 2013, The Thames Valley Expo has
rebranded as South West Expo and is back for its second year in Swindon on
18 Se ptember 2014 at The Steam Museum, Swindon
W
hy Swindon?
The answer
is simple.
This region
has a strong
infrastructure that is constantly
improving. It boasts excellent
transport connections within
the area, as well as strong rail
connections to the rest of the
country, and is situated on the
M4, M5 and M3 motorways with
Bristol just 30 miles away.
Additionally, superfast
broadband will be available
to 85% of the area’s business
premises by 2015 after an
investment of £20 million, and
regeneration plans are gathering
momentum and achieving results,
including the £350m regeneration
of Swindon town centre.
Companies in the area are also
benefitting from low commercial
property rent - commercial
property in Swindon costs 50%
less on average than in Bristol
or Reading. Property on average
costs 75% less than in London,
which all adds up to making
Swindon a great hub of
business activity.

discover why some of the
world’s top international brands
and most innovative, fastestgrowing companies are choosing
Swindon as their European hub
and headquarters. With so many
ambitious business people in
one place, the atmosphere is
always electric.
