Working

A visitor to Richmond might not realise what a diverse collection of high quality businesses the town has.

Up on the hill, the Trading Estate sits above the town. Here you will find a diversity of businesses: mechanics, builders, plumbers, trade supplies, furniture sellers and builders, cheese manufacturer, bicycle builders, vets, electrical engineers.

The well-known boot manufacturer, Altberg, whose superlative boots are now worn by the UK and Danish armed forces are located here. Customers travel from far-and-wide for a fitting.

Down in the Town Centre is a thriving collection of independent retailers, along with accountants, solicitors and estate agents.

thecitysecret is an IT Company offering IT Support and Software Development services. Our technical team help maintain business IT systems, ensuring hardware, software and data is kept up to date and secure. We also offer mobile, web and app development services enabling businesses to use technology to grow their business.

A Thriving Community

Richmond is also home to a thriving community of freelance workers in a variety of fields, such as graphic design, web design, marketing and photography.

All this is helped by Richmond's excellent transport links, with the A1 and A66 four miles away, and the East Coast Mainline stations at Darlington or Northallerton around 15 miles away.

Given the quality of life that Richmond residents enjoy it is not difficult to encourage people to relocate to the area to join the talented, skilled and qualified people already living in the area.
