Business in Slough
Mars bars have been made in Slough since the 1930s, and Reckitt, maker of Dettol and Durex, keeps its global headquarters in the town. The Slough Trading Estate, Europe's largest industrial estate in single private ownership, hosts dozens of data centres, and Heathrow's proximity draws freight, pharmaceutical and engineering firms such as UCB and Lonza.
Where software helps: Slough's data-centre operators and contractors bill colocation space, power use and cross-connects per client, while FMCG and pharma suppliers on the Trading Estate need batch traceability and Heathrow export paperwork.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Slough: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Slough?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Slough; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Slough and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 5 h 30 min ahead of Slough on standard time, and 4 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 14:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 3 h 30 min to 4 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.
What would a first project look like for a technology business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For technology & startups that is often subscription billing and project & time tracking. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
