What sort of work would you be looking for? Essex is within commuting distance of London (i.e. within an hour) and there are plenty of industries within Essex itself.

Hi Visitor to the planet smiley - earth. The best places to live are Epping district which is o the central line, Upminter district which is on the diestrict line or anywhere on the Southend Victoria line. Southend is a very good place to live as you have a choice of Southend Victoria and Central Stations and even an airport, which makes it very accesible.smiley - smiley

Essex is a big place. Mind if I narrow it down to Thurrock area of Essex. There's an industrial estate in Grays, and there's Lakeside, and a few large supermarkets, ie warehouse work, hmmmmmm lol, I don't know what type of work you'd want to do, do you? smiley - smiley Don't think you can really find out that much until you move here, anyone else got suggestions for Thurrock or nearby area? smiley - whistle
