Jobs in Slough

The Berkshire town of Slough is within easy commuting reach of London and also close to the bustling city of Reading. Dogged by many mocking references from writers and critics over the years, chiefly from the usually benign poet and writer John Betjeman, Slough has a lot of work to do to raise its public profile.

With a population of over 122,000, Slough before the 19th century relied on agriculture and the rural economy as well as on its brickfields but gradually all this changed and famous factories of differing products including Mars chocolate bars and the malted Horlicks drink came to Slough. With its proximity to Heathrow airport Slough is another dormitory town that depends for its lifeblood on its proximity to London rather than any distinctive individual indications of local quality and interest.
