A Brighter Workforce
Bexley has a working population of approx. 110,000, about 70,000
of whom work locally. Local employers rate highly the loyalty of staff with many
recruiting their staff from within just a 5-mile (8km) radius.
In addition, businesses in Bexley enjoy direct access to the 3-million
strong labour pool of London and North Kent - a talented and well-educated
group, approximately a third of whom hold degrees and which includes
the UK's highest concentration of technology and engineering graduates.
Bexley's strategic location is more good news. Fast and easy
road and rail commuting makes the Borough highly attractive to potential
staff, while labour costs compare favourably with London and the southeast.
In addition, Bexley Council and its partners offer a range of services to
employers new to the Borough - providing practical advice, assistance
and support to help you upskill and develop a strong and committed local
workforce.
