Details about the Area
The county town is Maidstone and its only city is Canterbury, which is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
It borders with East Sussex,
London and Surrey and has a specific defined boundary with Essex in the middle of the
Thames estuary.
The population is expanding at a rapid rate. During 1901 its population was just over 200,000 but by 2001 this had
grown to well over 1.3 million.
Kent is known as the "Garden of England" due to its agricultural and farming influence, extensive orchards and hop
gardens. It has significant business interests relating to Papermaking, Cement and aircraft construction which have
been major industries in North West Kent, although these are now in decline. Tourism and service industries have
grown throughout the county in recent years but the service industry is the largest employment sector of the local
economy by far employing over 67% of all workers.
Living and working in the area offers opportunities that are difficult to find anywhere else. What other working
location provides the chance to be able to have breakfast in France but be back home comfortably in time for lunch?
Where else offers you the bright lights and bustling atmosphere of the capital London, but is always within easy
distance of some of the most scenic countryside and beautiful villages in the country? Why not have the best of
both worlds and consider working in Kent.
