A number of professional, light industrial and commercial undertakings
are well established in Princes Risborough, including construction,
printing, packaging, pharmaceutical research and production, civil
and mechanical engineering and furniture manufacture. The town is
also well provided with service industries and has an active and
collective business voice.
The efforts of all the local businessmen, together with continuing
new developments planned for the town centre and surrounding business
areas, have ensured that the town continues to have a very low rate
of unemployment. The plan for the Chinnor rail link to Princes Risborough
will also introduce greater commercial activity and access to the
area helping to provide local employment. The well-known manufacturer
of quality furniture, Ercol, who opened a state of the art factory
in 2003, has recently agreed to make some of its site available
to act as an Enterprise Gateway for the development of young and
growing businesses in the furniture and allied trades.
Risborough Area Business Group (RABG)
An amalgamation of the previous Chamber of Trade & RizBiz, RABG
is a voluntary organisation comprising some 90 industrialists, traders
and businessmen in the town and surrounding district.
RABG aims are generally to:
• Promote, protect and improve the general interests of all
local business.
• Maintain a good business environment locally and to attract
visitors to the town.
• Study National, Regional, County and Local legislation and
plans, to ensure that they give due recognition to the interests
of the local commercial organisations and the local business community,
and to disseminate information to users.
The combined activity of the businessmen and businesses in the area
provides the public with a resource and voice that is able to help
influence local policy. RABG can thereby deliver public benefit
by seeking to protect and further the public interest by having
an influence on improvements to services, facilities, job opportunities
and quality of life, generally helping to promote the welfare and
prosperity of the Risborough district.
Princes Risborough has one of the most compact shopping areas in
the country, with two large car parks adjacent to the High Street.
The Business Group welcomes all visitors and newly established businesses
and hopes you will enjoy visiting Princes Risborough. We will, of
course, be only too pleased to help anyone who may require advice
or who experiences difficulties locally.
