Staplehurst is one of the larger villages in the Maidstone borough, and it keeps getting busier. The A229 follows the line of an old Roman road straight through it, becoming the High Street on its way from Maidstone towards Cranbrook. At the northern end, the station on the South Eastern Main Line brings a steady flow of London commuters, and the units clustered around Lodge Road give the village a working, light-industrial side that many people driving through never notice.
That mix shapes what local businesses need. A trade firm near the station, a shop on the parade, a consultant working from home in Hawkenbury and a nursery or care provider all want to be found, trusted and chosen. Our office at Union Park in Maidstone is a short drive up the A229, so you can pop in to see us or we’ll come to you, and our video crew travels down whenever there’s filming to do. Here’s what we offer Staplehurst businesses:

Working with a studio a short drive up the A229 means you get an agency that knows the area and is easy to reach. We’d always rather talk things through in person: drive up to our office at Union Park in Maidstone, or we’ll come down to Staplehurst and meet you at your premises. If the diary is packed, a video call does the job instead. Either way, you deal with the people actually doing the work.
