As an area of immense diversity, Essex is a great place to live and work. In fact, a 2001 survey in the Sunday Times found that its residents had the highest quality of life in the UK.

We’ve got a real mix of areas – from lively, thriving places like Chelmsford and Colchester, to beautiful market towns such as Saffron Walden and Maldon. Not to mention historic ports, seaside resorts, woodlands and picturesque countryside.

We’re very close to London, and home to Stansted – the UK’s fastest-growing airport. You may not know that we also have the UK’s longest coastline and driest climate - as well as some of its best schools.
