Invest in Surrey
Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP
“I can speak from experience when I say that the region’s reputation as a centre for innovation and its unrivalled quality of life makes it incredibly attractive to talent from across Britain and the world.
Leaders of the many multinational businesses who have made the region their home speak proudly of the benefits of being based here.
For them – and for me – Surrey stands as a beacon of innovation, creativity, and economic vitality.”
