Surrey’s thriving high-end manufacturing sector has given it a solid foundation on which a plethora of new independent shops and restaurants have been able to thrive, according to Curchod & Co partner Nick Reeve.
Curchod & Co sits at the top of Surrey’s Radius On-Demand Rankings for 2022, with 391,995 sq ft transacted across 104 deals.
Reeve says the county has seen the emergence of technology clusters such as Guildford’s gaming sector, suppliers of services to McLaren’s giant R&D plant in Woking and also the defence sector, which is benefiting from extra government spending.
These provide Surrey with well-paid jobs which, so far, have helped keep the county’s new shops and restaurants extremely busy.
