Newquay is the Cornish seaside town that has ridden the wave of change, transforming into the ‘Coast of Dreams’, becoming one of the most highly sought-after coastal destinations in Europe. Ever since its humble beginnings as a quaint Cornish fishing town, Newquay has attracted tourists from far and wide for its wide-ranging sea views and steep rolling cliffs, not to mention the many beaches which turns it into Cornwall’s diamond in the crown destination for a long part of its history. It makes the ideal place to relocate.

With a population of around 30,000, nowhere else in the UK, and potentially even Europe, can someone find as many activity and leisure capable beaches per head of the population. The centre of the town and surrounding areas shoulder the atmospheric coastline of rolling cliffs onto soft beaches which, in total, add up to seven separate sand beaches.

With the constant evolution of the destination, Cornwall Airport Newquay was the fastest growing regional airports in 2023 with links to Ireland, Europe and other UK destinations such as Glasgow, Manchester and London. In 2024 we are flying to five international destinations.  We are home to the UK’s first and only licensed Spaceport, which gained global attention with the take-off of Cosmic Girl, delivering the first rocket to reach space from Western European soil in 2023. 

 It really is no wonder that so many people are looking to Newquay for summer holidays or to escape to the coast to relocate, start a business, a family, or just activate their lifestyle dreams in one of the most appealing areas in the Southwest.

So, this really is a unique and exciting opportunity to progress your career with us, here in Newquay, Cornwall.
