Slough is an economic success story; we have more corporate headquarters in our town than the whole of Scotland, Wales and Northern Island put together and a thriving economy.
In 2017, 2018 and 2019, Glassdoor named Slough as the best place to work in the UK; a rating based on hiring opportunities, the cost of living and employee satisfaction.
Slough is changing and the pace of change has never been faster. A joint venture between the council and Morgan Sindall Investments, Slough Urban Renewal, is ploughing investment into housing, civic buildings, leisure and schools.
We are investing more than £50million in new and refurbished leisure facilities across the borough including a new leisure centre and family activity centre, completely rebuilt Ice Arena and refurbished Langley Leisure Centre.
