Automotive in Croydon
The business environment
Croydon's excellent road connectivity, sitting on the A23 and close to the A232 and M25, has long supported a strong automotive trade across dealerships, workshops and parts suppliers throughout the borough. This gives local automotive businesses access to a large customer base across south London and Surrey.
Why businesses locate here
Automotive businesses choose Croydon for its position on major south London routes, forecourt and workshop space priced more competitively than closer to central London, and quick access to the M25 for parts and vehicle logistics.
The local economy
Croydon's economy blends retail, distribution and automotive trade activity across the borough, creating consistent demand among automotive businesses for dependable IT that keeps sales, workshop and finance systems running.
