We’ve been providing great people for some of the best Camberley jobs for over two decades, ranging from temporary industrial roles such as warehouse picker packers or production operatives positions, through to office and executive roles, including skilled permanent positions. 



So it's no surprise to use that Camberley is such a popular location for people looking for good jobs in the manufacturing sector, and for warehouse work in particular. 

This delightful Surrey town offers an ideal blend of old world charm in its town centre, ultra modern offices and industrial warehouses and premises within business parks and industrial estates and plenty of open spaces in the surrounding Surrey Heath areas.

The town is probably most famous for being the home to The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where British Army officers are trained to lead soldiers and to live by the academy’s motto ‘Serve to Lead’.

Surprisingly, the Camberley entrance to Sandhurst is in Surrey but the other one, in the village of Sandhurst, is actually in Berkshire!

It’s a well-known fact locally that Camberley is the site of one of the UK’s tripoints - a place where three counties meet. The counties of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire all meet in the most unexpected location, on the edge of the car park for Marks and Spencer in The Meadows shopping centre! 

Camberley’s location at the meeting point of not just three counties, but also several major roads, is just one of the reasons why it is such a popular location for people looking for jobs that are easy to get to. The town is 30 miles from London, which is easily reached by rail, and just off the M3 motorway, with a fast spur road north to the M4. 

Why are Camberley Jobs so Sought After?

Camberley’s healthy business economy means that many blue chip organisations have chosen it as the location for their headquarters or for hub locations to cover the south of England. Major local employers including BMW, Siemens, Rentokil, Stihl, Linde and SC Johson - to name but a few - have chosen the area for their offices and factories. 

Manufacturing is the predominant sector and provides a good deal of the employment in the town. There are a wide range of types of jobs in Camberley, ranging from temp work in the town’s many warehouses, through to senior white collar roles. 

In fact, Camberley has 20% more households where the main earner is in a managerial, senior administrative or professional position than the national average. Almost 75% of residents are in the upper ABC1 socio-economic bracket and over a third of people have level 4 educational qualifications.*

Many people work in one of the town’s nearby business parks such as the Meadows, Helix or Watchmoor Park. However, there are also plenty of offices in the town centre for those who enjoy the old world charm of the town - and potentially combine a bit of retail therapy with their lunch hour.

Living in Camberley

For those looking to relocate for work, Camberley offers a wide range of housing from rural locations in leafy Surrey countryside, through to cool, modern apartments in the town centre. The Homes and Property website says that it is among the best places to buy a home, with many people choosing to move out of London to live here and benefit from the good local schools, excellent road and rail connections and access to the countryside in Bracknell forest. 

It is also affordable by Surrey standards, although an average home is still over half a million. Young families tend to choose areas such as Heatherside, with it attractive terrace homes, or Yorktown, to the west of the town centre, where a three-bedroom terrace will set you back around £400,000 (Source: Homes & Property)

Camberley in the Past

People have lived in what is now Camberley for centuries. In fact an Iron Age fort was situated just to the north of the current town, alongside the Roman road known as ‘The Devil's Highway’.

However, the name of Camberley wasn’t first coined until the early 19th Century when the settlement that had sprung up near the then Royal Military College gained its own name. ‘Camberley’ is derived from the Cam stream which runs through the town (mainly underground), nearby Amber Hill and ‘ley’ meaning a clearing in woodland. 

Once the railway opened in 1878, Camberley began to really come into its own. The town’s growth was also helped by its reputation as a good place to live or visit for anyone with lung problems, due to all the surrounding pine trees which were thought to provide healthy air.

Camberley and the Arts

Camberley also has a connection with the arts as well as business and commerce, and has its own theatre in the town centre. 

Remember Bros? If you’re over 40, you’ll almost certainly have memories of this Camberley boy band from the late 1980s. Even if you’re too young to recall them from their heyday, you may have heard their best-known song ‘When Will I be Famous’ on the play list at many a wedding or anniversary shindig. 

The band’s three founders, brothers Matt and Luke Goss, and guitarist Craig Logan, are all ex-pupils from Collingwood School in Camberley. 

You need to go even further back in time to get to the days of Camberley’s other famous duo, the puppets, Sooty (a bear) and Sweep, his long-eared canine companion. The creators of Sooty and Sweep, Harry & Matthew Corbett, lived in Blackwater, just next to Camberley.
