More Than Just A Trading Estate...
United Kingdom
Over the years, Slough Trading Estate has become a destination for a diverse mix of businesses – across all sectors and sizes – and their employees to connect, share ideas and take part in activities that make the Trading Estate an even more enjoyable place to work.
This year, the SEGRO Customer Experience Team has hosted a variety of events across the Trading Estate, making the most of outdoor space to bring local businesses together, strengthen customer relationships and enhance community wellbeing.
The highlights from 2025 include:
- Coffee & cupcakes: Held on eight occasions, the team set up stands offering drinks and cupcakes to anyone working on the estate, providing a friendly and convenient way to connect.
- Street food stalls: Eight vibrant food stall events at Leigh Road Park, just a short walk from the heart of the Trading Estate. The events showcased a variety of cuisines – from Caribbean and traditional Cornish pasties to fish and chips, Spanish and Greek dishes – celebrating the rich cultural diversity of the Slough Trading Estate community.
- Webinars: Nine webinars, hearing from businesses/experts, on important topics including health and safety awareness, environmental sustainability and health and wellbeing.
- Bike clinics: Twice this year, complimentary bike servicing sessions were offered to help people travel to work more easily. Following customer feedback, a trial booking system was introduced which was well-received and will continue in the future.
- Business Watch Security event: Customers were welcomed by the Business Watch team, who shared insights on Trading Estate and tips for keeping buildings safe.
- Litter picking event: Customers and staff joined the team for a community litter-picking day supporting wider CSR and ESG initiatives aimed at preserving the local environment and raising awareness.
Robyn Jenkins, Assistant Manager, Customer Experience, SEGRO, said: “Our goal for this year has been to create a real sense of community on Slough Trading Estate. It’s been fantastic to see so many of our customers and colleagues come together at these events. Whether it is over a coffee and cupcake, enjoying street food in the park, or taking part in our litter picking clean up, these moments really help us connect and build stronger relationships.”
