Southend Rising

Southend Rising Promoting Southend-on-Sea to attract inward investment, support businesses and boost the local economy Southend is rising.

After years of cliched Essex stereotypes, the town is seeing record levels of investment in capital and infrastructure projects which have created a thriving place to do business and put Southend firmly on the international map. Over 6.4 million annual tourists have always known what's on offer, but now a £120m investment in London Southend Airport and substantial improvements to major road routes

have opened the doors to an even wider audience. Tourism continues to be a huge industry, but key growth sectors are advanced aviation and engineering, health and medical instrumentation, finance and business services and creative/cultural businesses.These are resourced from a local talent pool that benefits from grammar schools, a £52m college campus and £26m university campus. The Halifax reported than in 2012 Southend saw the biggest rise in house prices of anywhere in the UK as people seek the space and affordability that London - just one hour away - no longer provides. This site aims to showcase Southend's growth and promote the opportunities available to investors.
