Southend-on-Sea Executive Search & Headhunting Specialists

A resort location on the Thames Estuary in Essex, southeast England, Southend-on-Sea is a popular choice for UK holidays and day trips. Tourism, therefore, contributes highly to its regional economy, with attractions including the well-visited Sea Life Adventure aquarium, Adventure Island amusement park, and the world's longest iron pleasure pier. It also boasts several art galleries, museums and libraires, together with supporting the consumer goods and services sector, health & social care, and a number of specialist construction and manufacturing organisations. 

Southend-on-Sea has recently been awarded city-status (in January 2022). This has increased both its publicity and its prominence, signifying an increase in opportunities for businesses and employers alike in both the public sector and the hospitality and leisure industries. This extends to the close by inland town of Rayleigh, who’s tourism sector benefits from its historic market town heritage and its proximity to the capital: Rayleigh is just 32 miles east of central London.

In fact, strong transport links help make Southend-on-Sea welcomingly accessible for a seaside location. London Southend Airport – an international airport with passenger services provided by easyJet – sits on the boundary between the city and its neighbouring Rochford district. Southend-on-Sea is also served by two lines from the National Rail network.
