Testimonials

Pinewood Studios

“Pinewood Studios, a leading provider of services to the global film and television industry has been based in Buckinghamshire for nearly 75 years. In that time the county has developed into an ideal location for business.

For Pinewood and more than two hundred creative companies based at the studios, there are obvious geographical advantages. Our transport links to London are good and we have the space to accommodate large film and television productions.

More than this though, we are proud to be part of a local community that has at its heart, talented, creative, skilled and entrepreneurial people. Ultimately Pinewood's success is based on attracting and retaining these people. By being based in Buckinghamshire we have that opportunity.

Pinewood’s ambition is to ensure it becomes the creative hub of Europe. We are therefore continuing to invest in the local area through innovative projects such as Project Pinewood, a unique and imaginative living and working community, building on the county’s creative spirit.”

Dreams & Clarenco LLP

High Wycombe is synonymous with the British furniture industry & chair making and is where I chose to set up Dreams in 1987. I have always found Buckinghamshire to be a county that encourages businesses to develop and grow (from little acorns etc) and Dreams certainly got the support it needed to become a National Company. There is a varied and vibrant pool of employees within easy commuting distance of our Head Office in Loudwater and geographically Bucks has excellent transport links into London and surrounding counties with London Heathrow less than an hour away.

It’s been a huge advantage to have these facilities and the backing of Buckinghamshire to enable my businesses to grow and flourish. Buckinghamshire has a reputation for being the entrepreneurial heartland of Britain and has the added advantage of being located within some of the most beautiful countryside and landscapes in Southern England. The beauty of the Chiltern Hills is second to none and I have no hesitation in promoting Buckinghamshire as a County of Opportunity and Entrepreneurism.
