The move will save the organisation money at a time when the government is making large cuts to public services. The AHRC's Chief Executive, Philip Esler, says it will also facilitate communication between the different research councils without any of them losing their discrete identities, shaping an integrated research landscape in the UK where arts and humanities researchers contribute to the solution of the great problems of our time". Esler hopes that the AHRC's move to Swindon will shape a Research Council community" in the city.

Swindon already has a thriving business community which could provide a useful platform for this burgeoning research environment. Because the town is within easy travelling distance of London, Bristol, Oxford and Reading - and on the M4 motorway - it has become a top destination for large corporations. Major employers include production plants for Honda and BMW, Motorola, Dolby Labs, WHSmith, Intel and Lucent Technologies. Financial houses such as the Nationwide Building Society and Zurich Bank, and pharmaceutical companies Patheon and Cardinal Health also have head offices in the town.

This business environment attracts numerous business visitors each month, many of whom will have experienced cutbacks over the last few years as corporations and organisations such as the AHRC carefully monitor their costs. Travel is a vital part of most businesses, either because their industry necessitates it or because they prefer to do business face to face, so many companies are finding it necessary to simply cut down on the costs of accommodation for employees working in other towns or cities. Serviced apartments Swindon provide a great way to reduce expenses without compromising on the quality of the accommodation.
