Jobs in Market Harborough

Market Harborough is a Leicestershire town of about 25,000 right on the Northamptonshire border, sitting almost exactly halfway between Leicester and Northampton. It's half commuter town, half local-services hub — the rail link to London makes it more of an office-worker destination than the typical Leicestershire market town.

Joules has its head office here — the fashion and homeware brand has been a major local employer since the 1990s and still operates fulfilment plus head-office functions from the site, even after the 2022 administration restructure. Wynnstay (animal feed and agricultural supplies) has a regional centre nearby. Stuart Turner — a long-established pump and water systems manufacturer — operates from the town. Financial services and accountancy are over-represented for a market town of this size because of the train link.

Trains to London St Pancras run about every 30 minutes and take 60-70 minutes — that's brought a healthy commuter population. Leicester is 25 minutes the other way; Kettering 12; Corby 20. If you're willing to commute, you've got Northampton, Wellingborough, Kettering and the wider East Midlands logistics belt all within an hour. Postcode: LE16 covers Harborough and the surrounding Welland Valley villages.
