"Luton’s a great place to work, with very good transport links. The M1 and M25 are nearby, London’s only 30 minutes away, and Luton airport has low cost flights to anywhere in Europe.

’I took early retirement, but came back to work two-and-a-half days a week. I love it. In reality I'm accessible by mobile on the other days – it just means I don't have to be in the office. But when I am working, it’s an easy commute. I live in Luton and it only takes me 20 minutes to drive to work.’
