The Post covers exciting developments across the Kent economy including businesses shaking up the county and the entrepreneurs behind those companies. This newsletter is not copy and paste press releases of local business news but is a weekly digest of the issues that actually matter to our county’s businesses and their decision makers. We will highlight the key business news of the week that impacts business leaders from across Kent such as Chapel Down’s listing on the London Stock Exchange, the lack of women in managerial positions across our local economy, and how high interest rates have impacted Kent and Medway’s property sector. We are driven by quality not quantity.
Every week, we pick stories that actually matter to local businessmen and those that shape our county’s economy. We focus our content on five content pillars:
Economics: trends and deep dives into the county’s economy, workforce, and business ecosystem;
Leadership: interviews with the county’s key decision-makers;
Capital Markets: monitoring the largest firm’s in Kent who are listed on the stock market;
Start-ups: coverage of innovation, emerging technology and entrepreneurs;
Sectors: tracking of key sectors in Kent such as beverages, financial services, life sciences, real estate and others.

What does 2024 have in store for Kent Plc
This week marked the starting gun of an exciting year for companies and business leaders across Kent & Medway. In this edition, we look at a number of Kent’s public limited companies (PLCs) traded on the London stock markets, and explore what might be in store for them over the next 12 months.
What is The Kent Business Post?
The Kent Business Post is a niche business and market intelligence provider which is focused on the local economies of Kent & Medway. The Post is the most relevant and targeted medium for business leaders and workers across the county to deliver their message to decision-makers in the area.
Since the first edition in January 2023, The Post has led the field with unique analysis, data, and insights on the businesses shaping the county. We believe that no other local business publication is delivering this level of analysis and reporting on the county’s economy. This relentless focus on quality over quantity, analysis over clickbait, is our hallmark.
Off the back of our break out year in 2023, we look forward to working with our local partners and leaders to strengthen our position as the leading source of intelligence on Kent and Medway’s economy and business landscape for the benefit of our senior decision-maker audiences. We further look forward to executing a number of new ideas for The Kent Business Post which will bring our articles and weekly newsletter’s to more readers in 2024.
