For this week’s installment of our #ThisIsLiving series we’re ‘bigging up’ Bognor Regis and why it’s such a fantastic place to live and work. Here are just a few reasons…

It sees itself firmly as part of the great British seaside renaissance and major investments are transforming its tourist offer, including £36 million by Butlin’s into a state-of-the-art leisure and splash pool.
Plans are also being taken forward to build a new 3,000 sqm Winter Gardens on the seafront as part of a mixed development on this premier site.
The recent investment by Rolls Royce Motor Cars and the University of Chichester demonstrate a growing confidence in Bognor Regis as an investment location.
Other major development opportunities include Enterprise Bognor Regis, a 70-hectare commercial and employment development opportunity located on the northern edge of the town, which has the potential to accommodate 150 businesses and provide over 4,000 new jobs.
