COMPANIES in Eastleigh can now be found at the turn of a page thanks to the launch of a new A to Z of industrial and business parks.

The free guide detailing the borough's key sites has been produced and published by Eastleigh council's economic development unit.

Almost 500 businesses currently located on the parks are listed in alphabetical order in the 46-page guide, which also contains their contact phone numbers and, where available, their website address.

To be updated annually, the guide is a companion to the established and comprehensive business directory for the Eastleigh and Southampton areas published by the borough and city councils and listing over 5,000 companies.

Eastleigh executive councillor Margaret Kyrle, who is responsible for economic development, said: "The guide has been published in response to many requests received for information about the borough's business parks and I am certain it will meet their needs.

"Eastleigh continues to be the number one business location in Hampshire and is home to a wide variety of companies who are attracted by our excellent communication links as well as our well-motivated workforce."

Both guides can be obtained free of charge from the council's economic development unit on 023 8068 8045.
