Doing business in Haverhill

 
An established market town for nearly 1,000 years, Haverhill has a long history of enterprise and entrepreneurship which has underpinned much of the economic development.
 
At one point a prosperous medieval town, it gradually reorientated as a centre for the textile industry, which persisted into the twentieth century. Haverhill's position in the heart of rural East Anglia also ensured the town became the commercial hub of a large agricultural community. The handsome, former Corn Exchange, still standing in the town centre, bears witness to the profitability of this period.
 
The traditional accumulation of wealth from an agricultural economy eventually gave way to the more dynamic and lucrative industrial economy with its manufacturing base.
 
Haverhill continues to enjoy a first class business culture and spirit of enterprise that is much admired across the region. It has successfully adapted to both the information revolution and the challenges posed by this age of technology.
 
The capacity of the town to offer land areas for development has added significantly to its attractions for business expansion in recent years. Its unique position on the borders of three counties - Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire - along with its proximity to Stansted Airport has further enhanced its currency as a prime location for business in the new millennium.
 
The town possesses a thriving business community.
