There are two industrial estates in South Woodham, one at the Hamberts Road/Cutlers Road areas, just off the roundabout between Burnham Road and Woodham Road, the other opposite the recycling depot on Ferrers Rd., at the junction with the Ford showroom.

You will find a collection of the usual types of businesses, but also some that are slightly out of the ordinary. 

For instance:

The Crouch Vale Brewery is South Woodham's own  tiny brewery, located on Redhills Road.

Many of the businesses located at the other industrial estate in Bressingham Gardens are housed in purpose made workshops attached to houses which makes them ideal for smaller businesses.  It's here that you will find the premises of a sculptor, printer and other small businesses.

Business Breakfast

A business breakfast meets once a fortnight, on Tuesdays, at Acorns from 7.15 am - 8.30 am. All local businesses are welcome to attend.  Call Lawrence Brennan on 01245 425160 Mobile 07850 173403, or email for more details of the Breakfast Meetings.

Essex people are known for their enterprise and many home based businesses flourish. You will find cottage industries supplying hair decorations, hand-made greetings cards, as well as services such as secretarial, book keeping, hairdressing, car rentals and so on.
