The initiative aims to shine a spotlight on the UK’s towns and cities that successfully nurture entrepreneurial spirit in order to make a lasting impact on local communities and the economy.

Councillor Chowen said: “Meeting staff of Creative Assembly today just reinforced why Horsham and our District is so fantastic for business. And it’s not just our physical structures that we have - it’s local leadership with our pro-active council that supports start-ups and entrepreneurs.”

Councillor Mitchell has said Horsham is the envy of pretty much every other district in the South East.

He added: “To have been shortlisted with only two other towns in England is a major achievement. Creative Assembly, like so many businesses in Horsham find that our connectivity including broadband, phone signal and transport links are important factors for them. But our food markets and welcoming leisure and retail offering makes Horsham a great place not only to live but to work. To vote for Horsham, go to https://www.enterprisenation.com/dell-top-town/vote/ to ensure that Horsham is crowned the top business town in the UK.”

The winners will be announced on 26 April 2022.
