Invest Colchester

Colchester has long been a place of aspiration. Over many years we have been getting the fundamentals and investment in place so that existing businesses and skills are retained and investors are confident that Colchester is a great place to do business and grow. Those investments are now delivering real improvements to the experience of the city and potential for business growth here.

Colchester City Council is a proactive and forward thinking organisation, welcoming partnership and open to discussion on a variety of areas. Interventions, often with key partners, are delivering innovative solutions to realise Colchester’s considerable potential.

This is website for businesses in and around Colchester and for those looking to set up or relocate a business to the Colchester area.

This site is a useful resource explaining:

• The reasons why Colchester is great for business

• What kinds of business support is on offer and how to get it

• Where the land available for business is located

• What sectors are growing

• The kinds of local information and data resources which may help with business planning

The site often links to partner organisations, also, inward investment often includes a chain of contacts which link from Government to specialist sector organisations and other networks.

The site is managed by Colchester City Council’s Economic Development and Regeneration Team.
