Agricultural businesses in Havering need IT support that keeps records secure through every season.
Running an agricultural business in Havering, which retains open farmland and green belt around its eastern edges, means keeping farm management systems, financial records and communications reliable throughout the year. Cloudswitched supports Havering agricultural businesses from our City of London base, combining round-the-clock remote monitoring with scheduled on-site visits along the A12, A127 and M25. We manage the helpdesk, cybersecurity, cloud and compliance so you can focus on the land, not IT problems.
Agriculture in Havering
The business environment
Havering is an outer east London borough centred on Romford, a historic market town whose street market dates back to a charter granted in the thirteenth century and remains one of the largest outdoor markets in the country. The borough also takes in Hornchurch, Upminster, Rainham and Harold Hill, and sits on London's eastern edge against the Essex border, giving it a more suburban, green character than many inner boroughs, with large parks and open spaces including part of the Ingrebourne Valley.
Why businesses locate here
agriculture businesses are drawn to Havering by its position on the A12 and A127, close to the M25 and Dartford Crossing, plus C2C mainline services from Romford and Elizabeth line trains through Romford and Gidea Park into central London and Essex. Commercial space costs considerably less than in inner London, and the borough's large residential population — including one of the highest proportions of over-65s in the capital — gives agriculture firms a substantial local client base.
The local economy
Havering's economy centres on Romford town centre's retail and leisure offer, established industrial estates around Rainham and Chadwell Heath, and a large base of small and medium-sized enterprises serving the borough's residents. The borough has also retained selective secondary education, and its settled, family-oriented communities create steady, long-term demand for agriculture services across Romford, Hornchurch and Upminster.
