🎈Bonus feature
Located at the centre of the Thames Valley, Slough was actually named the UK’s Best Place to Work in 2017, 2018 and 2019 by a Glassdoor survey. This is based on ease of finding a job, relatively high average salaries in comparison to living costs, employee satisfaction, and cost of housing. Plus, the current £3.5bn development programme will create an estimated 10,000 jobs + 9,000 new homes.
