Solicitors in Kent
Kent is a county in south-east England, known as the Garden State because of its orchards, market gardens and hop gardens. Traditionally an economy dominated by cement-making, coal-mining and paper-making, north Kent today remains heavily industrialised, with large presences from a diverse range of industries, including cement-making, brick-making, shipbuilding, engineering, aircraft design and construction, chemicals and even oil refining and nuclear power.
South and east Kent meanwhile rely largely on agriculture and tourism. In recent years, industry and services are increasing their presence in the county. Kent is also home to a large number of eco-enterprises participating in the global marketplace for environmental goods and services.
