South Gloucestershire

South Gloucestershire stretches from the River Severn in the west to the Cotswolds in the east, to its southern boundary with Bristol and its northern edge beyond Falfield on the A38.

With more than 250,000 residents already, South Gloucestershire is the fastest-growing area in the South West - and it's easy to see why. It offers bustling towns and unspoilt countryside, excellent travel links and major commercial and industrial areas.

The area has well established manufacturing industries (aerospace, engineering, food processing) and newer commercial development, largely located on business parks in the Bradley Stoke and Stoke Gifford areas. Many high technology companies are now based in South Gloucestershire and the area has also attracted a number of large employers in recent years including the Ministry of Defence Procurement Agency, AXA Sunlife and the RAC regional HQ.
