Slough is currently the focus of substantial investment through the £450m Heart of Slough regeneration programme. Thanks to the vision of the programme, which includes improved leisure facilities and increased commercial space, the town is emerging as the perfect place to live, work and play.
Slough has a long-standing reputation for excellent employment opportunities. This thriving town is home to the highest concentration of global corporate headquarters outside London, including Nintendo, Amazon and Mars, who manufactured the very first Mars Bar in the town back in 1932. The developments location close to this booming business community in the heart of the M4 Thames Valley corridor and just a stone’s throw from Slough station, with direct access to London, Reading and Oxford, make it perfectly positioned for those looking to work close to home and commuters alike.

Please ensure that these are switched on before you attempt to use any of these appliances. Please also ensure that all appliance packaging is removed prior to use.
When cleaning your kitchen there are several factors to consider. It should only be necessary to use a damp cloth with a little liquid detergent to remove most marks. Excess water, especially around the corner joints and front edge of the work surfaces should be removed immediately as constant water ingress can cause irreversible damage which is not covered by the warranty.
Avoid boiling kettles over or near work surface joints or under wall cupboards. Microwaves, toasters, steamers or any other heat-generating appliance should not be positioned over or near a work surface joint. Please do not place hot pans directly onto the work surfaces as they are not heat-resistant and can cause staining or damage.

Please ensure shower screens are aligned with the top of the bath before showering in order to prevent water from spilling over the edge of the bath.
