Supporting Basildon businesses
Basildon was one of the first post-war new towns, designated in 1949, and it was planned with large industrial areas that still host some major manufacturers and engineering centres. New Holland Agriculture has built tractors in Basildon since 1964. Ford's Dunton Technical Centre, a major engineering and development site for the company's engines, transmissions and commercial vehicles, is on the town's western edge. Leonardo designs and manufactures defence and security electronics in the town, and Costa Coffee opened its large roastery in Basildon in 2017.
Those large employers sit alongside a busy small business economy. Business areas such as Southfields and Burnt Mills hold manufacturers, distributors and trade suppliers, and the A127 and A13 give quick access to London and the Thames Gateway ports. The Festival Leisure Park and Eastgate shopping centre support retail and hospitality jobs. Many local businesses are in construction, engineering services and logistics, and many residents work in London or across south Essex.
Basildon businesses usually come to us with:
- Engineering subcontractors and suppliers to larger manufacturers who need to show basic security controls and protect design files.
- Construction and trades businesses moving from paper and personal email to Microsoft 365, shared calendars and job folders.
- Distributors and trade counters whose orders depend on email, scanners and label printers working every day.
- Retail and hospitality businesses needing a reliable website and Google listing.
dijitul supports Basildon businesses remotely from Mansfield. We set up and secure Microsoft 365, fix email and websites, manage devices and run backups. If a job requires someone on site, we tell you why and quote it before any work.
