Businesses
Kent businesses will shortly receive a real boost - from December they’ll be able to take advantage of the region’s first truly integrated rail network.
It certainly is an exciting time. Southeastern rail services will offer businesses a different dimension and create opportunities that until now have not been possible.
With the launch of High Speed services it will be possible to have a business
lunch in Ashford and be back in time to take that two o’clock conference call in
Soho.
