Accountancy in the East of England
A fantastic career and a fantastic place to live
This strikingly beautiful region of England comprises seven counties – Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Although largely rural in nature, the East of England is enormously prosperous in terms of its agricultural economy.
The region is also rich in culture, commerce and education. Its principal towns and cities of Bedford, Luton, Basildon, Peterborough, Southend-on-Sea, Norwich, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelmsford and Cambridge enjoy among the lowest unemployment in the UK.
The East of England is easily accessible by road and rail, with its southern part lying in the London commuter belt.
The East of England is one of the most desirable paces to live in the UK. In East Anglia, the broad low spread of fenland stretches out to some of the most attractive coastlines in the UK. But there’s more to the East of England than rural life. Norwich is one of Britain’s finest historic cathedral cities, as is of course, the world-renowned university city of Cambridge.
The East of England enjoys a global reputation for its enterprise, especially in the fields of engineering and computer science. Few parts of the UK can offer such an enviable variety of relaxed, rural living and commercial opportunity.
