Situated in the saddle of the South West peninsular its position on the transportation network gives Taunton unrivalled advantages for access. The M5 corridor, the main artery for Exeter and the far South West, passes just by the historic county town and surrounding area. The mainline station offers frequent and fast services to London and the rest of the UK. Bristol and Exeter airports, are both within 45 minutes drive time, open up opportunities to Europe, the USA as of May 2005 and the rest of the world to this attractive forward looking area.

Taunton has been granted Principal Urban Status, a clear signal from government that the town is seen as a significant area for growth and development over the coming years. The Heart of Somerset area as a whole including Wellington and Wiveliscombe is moving forward with an exciting and innovative vision for future growth.

Not only is the Heart of Somerset ideally placed to do business from a commercial perspective, but quality of life is a key attraction to investors in the area. Surrounded by the beautiful Somerset countryside, the Heart of Somerset is the perfect place to do business.
