The area around Harlow.
Harlow is an Essex new town designed by Frederick Gibberd, arranged in neighbourhood clusters separated by green wedges and known for its collection of public sculpture. It sits on the M11 and the West Anglia line, and has grown substantially with newer estates at Newhall and towards Gilston. Much of the original post-war housing now needs updating, which drives work for trades. Residents identify with their own neighbourhood and its parade of shops, so a trades site that names Church Langley, Old Harlow or Newhall feels properly local.
Elsewhere in Essex, Epping (5 miles) and Waltham Abbey (7 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Sawbridgeworth (4 miles), Hoddesdon (5 miles), Ware (6 miles) and Cheshunt (7 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Harlow itself, we build for businesses in Old Harlow, Church Langley, Newhall, Potter Street, Great Parndon, Harlow Common and Staple Tye.
Harlow (postcode area CM) sits about 173 miles north-east of Exeter.
