FAVERSHAM has one of England's oldest intact town centres and we are right in the middle of it, adjacent to Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewery and 50 metres up Quay Lane (from which the Company gets its name) from the Creek and the Port of Faversham (originally a subsidiary Cinque Port), with its original timber-framed town warehouse still standing (now a sea-scout hut).
Many "celeb" travel writers have referred to Faversham as their "favourite small town in Kent". The town has around 450 listed buildings, of which 25 Court Street, built around the end of the 16th Century, is one. The building is an appropriate venue for a transport consultancy, having been built by a shipowner / master who imported salt from East Anglia and sold it in a shop at the front of the house.
Faversham has numerous restaurants and pubs and hosts many public social events, including a raft race, a carnival and the annual Hop Festival. It is a lively but relaxing place to work and discuss business, so come on down and meet us. For those who travel by road to and from Europe, we are five minutes off the M2.
