East London is known for its manufacturing industries and has a lot of support on offer for manufacturing companies.

The Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence (CEME) is a not-for-profit education and skills organisation at Rainham, London in the London Borough of Havering. It is a great hub for businesses in the engineering, manufacturing and technology sectors and its campus is also home to the CEME Innovation Centre.

For industrial space, Bexley claims to be home to the third largest concentration of industrial land in London, and as a result the borough has a superb range of commercial accommodation and development land.

Business Park with focus on Asia Trade

ABP 1The Mayor of newham aim is to reinstate the Royal Docks as a commercial heartland in the capital, creating a strategic trading hub with Asia, and delivering around 20,000 full-time jobs and boosting local employment in Newham by 30 per cent.

As an existing Enterprise Zone, the area already offers reduced business rates, a simpler planning process, and superfast broadband.  The Mayor also discussed plans to work with the UK government to revamp Enterprise Zone business incentives for the Royal Docks.

In May 2013, it was announced that Newham had found a buyer for the Royal Albert Dock, the largest of the three royal docks. In a £1 billion deal, a Chinese company called Advanced Business Park (ABP) won the right to turn the derelict 35-acre site into a European headquarters for hundreds of Chinese firms.
