Time off 
You'll love the laid back lifestyle of the South West. But you'll never be short of things to do, whether you're hiking through National Parks, eating in a medieval pub, relaxing in a world-class spa, trying to understand Morris dancing, enjoying an evening at the opera, mastering the art of surfing, or making a pilgrimage to Thomas Hardy's cottage.  
 
In fact, for many, life in the South West is so outdoorsy - from surfing and sailing, caving and climbing, to coasteering and kite surfing - there are endless ways to keep your adrenaline pumping.

When it's work time, however, there's nowhere better to conduct business than the South West, with its skilled staff, its entrepreneurial spirit, its innovative thinking and its determination to succeed. 
 
Small wonder more new businesses survive in the South West than anywhere else in Britain. Small wonder too, that so many huge multinationals have made their home - and even greater success - here. 
 
The 2005 Wellbeing@ Work survey found bosses and workers had the UK's highest levels of work satisfaction. Workplace wellbeing is associated with good staff morale which in turn leads to high levels of productivity and low absenteeism. 
 
If you want to succeed in business and enjoy your life, you'll find the perfect work/life balance in the South West.
