Supporting Guildford businesses
Guildford is a prosperous Surrey town with an economy that combines a traditional market town centre, a strong university and a nationally important games industry. Its cobbled High Street, Guildford Castle and Guildford Cathedral frame a busy shopping and dining centre, surrounded by professional firms such as solicitors, accountants, wealth managers and surveyors.
The University of Surrey is a major employer and research institution, with particular strengths in engineering, space, health and hospitality. Its Surrey Research Park, next to the campus, is home to well over a hundred technology and science companies, including space, satellite and software businesses.
Guildford is also one of the UK's best-known centres for video game development. Studios such as Criterion Games, Media Molecule and Supermassive Games are based in or around the town, and over the years the cluster has produced many smaller independent studios and freelance developers, artists and audio specialists. The Royal Surrey County Hospital is another large employer.
The A3 and quick trains to Waterloo mean many Guildford residents commute or work hybrid, and the town is surrounded by villages full of home-based consultancies.
Common IT and website needs in Guildford:
- Games studios and tech firms need secure cloud storage, version control access, fast connectivity and careful handling of large files and confidential builds.
- Professional practices need secure Microsoft 365, MFA, encrypted laptops and email that reaches clients reliably.
- Retailers and restaurants need fast mobile websites, booking systems and accurate Google listings.
- Home-based consultants need professional email, backup and someone to call when things stop working.
Most of this can be handled remotely, which suits a town with famously tricky parking and traffic.
