Why businesses
choose Waverley
There is a reason, or even several, why so many
businesses choose to have their headquarters in
Waverley. We have the highest business density
in Surrey. Here’s what’s special about Waverley
and why it appeals to entrepreneurs from a
range of sectors.

Cranleigh
There are nearly 800 businesses in Cranleigh. Construction
of buildings, retail trade and real estate activities account for
nearly 18% of all businesses.
The village has a bustling, vibrant centre and offers a range
of traditional family businesses and new and dynamic
businesses.
Although it does not have a train station, Cranleigh has
prospered as a satellite of Guildford and as a service and light
engineering centre for the surrounding smaller villages.
The population is around 11,500.
Manufacturing - Cranleigh
Cambertronics is a Cranleigh based electronics design and
manufacturing company. Established in 1991, the company has
grown and moved twice locally and has been involved in a variety of
projects for some of the largest blue chip companies - some as far
away as New Zealand!
The company feels that Waverley offers an ideal demographic hub for
staff and businesses from Surrey, Hampshire and West/East Sussex.
The safe and attractive locality and reliable local logistical
infrastructure is a definite plus. Great local schools/colleges/
universities provide students for work experience and
apprenticeships, some of whom have completed their university
courses and now come back as customers.
The owners plan to grow the business organically whilst
uncompromisingly supporting local customers. Creating a highly
trained and skilled workforce is essential to enable the company to
continue strong growth and employment locally.

As England’s first World Craft City, it is not surprising that Farnham is a thriving
hub for creative businesses. Farnham is also Waverley’s only university town –
the University for the Creative Arts is attended by 2,000 students and epitomises
Farnham’s long relationship with craft.
From major museums, the Farnham Maltings, exhibitions, specialist retail outlets
and craft-related business, Farnham is home to both world-renowned craft artists
and the next generation of emerging makers.
Farnham has a buoyant economy with over 3,000 business. It is also home to nearly
40,000 people.
The area has seen an injection of investment with the development of Farnham
Brightwells Yard and The Woolmead. These projects will attract new retail and
leisure businesses into the town centre.

Godalming is a picturesque historic market town
located four miles from Guildford and 30 miles from
London. Its proximity to the A3 and train station
with a regular service to London Waterloo may
explain why nearly ten per cent of businesses located
here are classified as ‘activities of head offices and
management consultancy’, and 22,000 people have
made it their home.
