Crawley is at the hub of one of the most dynamic economies in the country. Many companies from a diverse range of sectors have centred their operations here, taking advantage of its young and growing population and the close proximity of Gatwick Airport. Today there are approximately 2,000 businesses in Crawley, employing 65,000 people.

Many of these companies are located within the Manor Royal business district, a strategic location mid-way between Crawley town centre and Gatwick Airport, with a dual carriageway link to junction 10 of the M23 providing direct access to the national motorway network. Less than two miles to the north of Pegasus Place is Gatwick Airport South Terminal, from where the Gatwick Express runs at 15 minute intervals, with a journey time of 30 minutes into Central London.
