Slough is a town that works
A message from Ruth Bagley, Chief Executive of Slough Borough Council 
We have vibrant communities, a thriving £2.5 billion economy and ambitious, confident plans for the future.
We’re one of the top three most productive towns in the UK outside of London and we’re home to some of the best known names in business including Amazon, Honda, Research in Motion, O2 and Mars.
Companies like these choose to locate in Slough because of our transport links, the plentiful supply of talent and the excellent infrastructure and networks in the area. And we are delighted to welcome them.
At Slough Borough Council we work hard to help businesses flourish and sustain the slough economy.
