About Thurrock
Thurrock is an excellent place to do business given it’s close proximity to London and it’s position as a gateway to the world. We have excellent transport links which give businesses access to the major national road and rail networks and via our local ports there is a gateway to european and wider international markets.
Thurrock is at the heart of the Thames Gateway, the biggest regeneration project in Europe and we are ideally situated for new businesses to start and for existing businesses to grow and thrive.
The borough is already a hub for many thriving businesses in core sectors - logistics, retail, construction and transport - and we have many regionally significant businesses including the Port of Tilbury and the Lakeside Shopping Complex. This position will be strengthened by the nationally important £1.5 billion London Gateway deep-sea container port and the largest logistics park in Europe at Shellhaven.
Our economic growth will also see significant expansion of both Lakeside and Tilbury Port.
With hundreds of millions of pounds of investment flowing into Thurrock we are uniquely placed to take advantage of the business and employment opportunities that these big projects and developments will bring.
