Voice of the Region: Surrey – Better living through technology

<p>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.</p> <p>Curchod & Co sits at the top of Surrey’s Radius On-Demand Rankings for 2022, with 391,995 sq ft transacted across 104 deals.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>These provide Surrey with well-paid jobs which, so far, have helped keep the county’s new shops and restaurants extremely busy.</p>
