Business and Investment

Taunton, Somerset's largest town, has high aspirations.

Its location is perfect for south west businesses. Well connected to London and Bristol by rail and motorway, it is the gateway to Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, as well as the home of specialist employers such as the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office and WPA.

Taunton is already successful, but its proud and energetic community is backing an ambitious regeneration initiative – Project Taunton – ensuring the town is at the forefront of future investment in the South West. The redevelopment of Firepool, the Cultural Quarter, Tangier, and the High Street will provide new and expanding businesses with the opportunity to invest in the heart of a thriving town at a fraction of the cost elsewhere.

But that's not the only draw for potential investors: the quality of life in and around the town is excellent. Our schools, housing, and public services are widely admired, as is the scenery on the Blackdowns and Exmoor, and our excellent cricket team – Somerset CCC.

I hope you will join us in Taunton and become part of our town’s prosperous future.
