Basepoint’s business centre is on the south-eastern side of the town, on the Evesham ring road with easy access to the M5, making it a great location for a wide range of small businesses and start-ups. Increasingly, companies are realising the advantages of moving outside major cities such as London and Birmingham, and choosing more affordable office space in smaller towns with thriving business communities. As a town with a population of around 23,500 people, Evesham fits the bill perfectly.


Good Transport Links: Evesham is served by M5 and other major roads, lying at the junction between the A46 and A45. Driving to Birmingham will normally take just over an hour, with a choice of routes available.As well as its extensive road links, the town has a rail station on the Cotswold line between Oxford and Worcester. Regular trains depart to London’s Paddington Station, with many journeys taking under two hours. There are also regular rail services to other destinations including Oxford and Reading, and it is possible to travel to Birmingham by changing at Worcester. Alternatively, there is a network of bus routes in the area. Birmingham Airport, which is one of the UK’s busiest airports serving many destinations around the world, is only about 40 minutes away by road, which is ideal for business owners who need to travel to Europe. There is also the opportunity to take boat trips on the Avon, a great option if you are looking for an unusual way to entertain clients.


Best of Both Worlds: By choosing office space in Evesham, you will be in a market town which has a strong business community but is also close to large areas of idyllic countryside. This helps staff to achieve a good work-life balance, which in turn can reduce stress levels and help to heighten productivity.
The town is at the heart of the famous Vale of Evesham, known as one of the most beautiful areas of the country. It lies amid a landscape of rolling hills, market gardens and orchards where a wide range of fruit is grown. There are many attractive walks to enjoy across the area, including the “Blossom Trail” through local villages. Following these trails, as well as walking through parks in the town or along the river, is a great way for staff to take exercise in the fresh air and improve both physical and mental wellness.
Heritage and Culture: Evesham is an historic town with many heritage landmarks, including ancient timber-framed buildings as well as those built from the local stone. It was once the site of a great abbey, and there are still some ruins of this to admire, including the bell tower and a section of wall. The abbey’s 14th-century almonry, where alms were traditionally handed out to the poor, is now a museum and heritage centre tracing the history of the area.


Cultural attractions include a number of festivals, many of which are centred on the river, ranging from Britain’s largest angling festival to events celebrating asparagus, plums, classic cars and Morris dancing. A wide range of professional and amateur theatrical productions are staged at Evesham Arts Centre, in addition to concerts, exhibitions and comedy nights. All this cultural activity contributes to Evesham’s unique character and means that it is a perfect location for SMEs with links to the tourist sector.

Major businesses with bases in the area include Kanes Foods in Evesham itself, as well as Yamazaki Mazak, Halfords, GKN Aerospace and many others in the nearby area.  The University of Worcester and the University of Gloucestershire have both built strong links with local businesses.
