Rural Diversification

An alternative choice

The area surrounding Maidstone provides a well connected but peaceful corner of England to develop businesses which can thrive in less urban environments.  Whilst farming, horticulture and food production continue to be the mainstay of the economy, modernisation has encouraged new buildings to improve efficiency.  Traditional farm buildings have proved their worth to new and interesting economic generators into the rural environment.  Conversions and refurbishments have allowed properties with character to become excellent bases for alternative working environments, often without the stress of parking and travelling into town on a daily basis.

Many very successful companies have chosen to locate in the countryside including those in technology, media and manufacturing.  Quality goods and craftsmen made products are enjoying the benefits of the Kent countryside beside rural industries who are diversifying into tourism and specialist markets.
