Basingstoke - easy to work in, easy to trade from ...

The town's excellent links into the UK's road, rail and sea transport have led to Basingstoke becoming one of the South East Region's most important distribution hubs. Wholesale, transport, storage and communications now account for 24% of the local economy, with the financial and business services sectors making up a further 23%.
