Companies relocating staff or running project teams into Caerphilly's business park and startup community need accommodation close to the town centre with fast rail links to Cardiff, not a tourist booking built around the castle.
Caerphilly's business base has grown around its business park rather than the town's more famous historic landmark. Caerphilly Business Park comprises around 100,000 sq ft of offices with occupiers including DS Smith, Domus Ventilation and the Welsh ICE programme, which has been home to over 200 innovative businesses since 2010. That startup and enterprise density gives Caerphilly a genuinely different corporate character to Cardiff city centre: smaller-scale, entrepreneurial, and closely tied to the wider Cardiff Capital Region economy.
Transport links reinforce this connection. Caerphilly benefits from a frequent train service to Cardiff, with the fastest journey times of around 18 minutes, and rail connectivity is set to improve further as part of the £5 billion South Wales Metro project, which will bring a new rail fleet, increased capacity and more frequent services across the Cardiff Capital Region. The business park also sits within a 15-minute drive of four M4 motorway junctions, from J28 to J32, giving relocating staff and project teams practical access to the wider region without needing to be based in Cardiff itself.
The town's landmark castle draws leisure visitors, but the accommodation demand that actually matters to companies here comes from the business park, its startup tenants, and the commuter link into Cardiff, not from tourism.
An established office park close to the town centre, home to major occupiers and a large startup community. Generates relocation and corporate accommodation demand distinct from Cardiff city centre.
A Welsh Government-backed startup and enterprise hub on the business park, home to over 200 growing businesses, bringing a steady flow of relocating staff and business visitors.
Fast, frequent rail services connect Caerphilly to Cardiff Central in around 18 minutes, making the town a practical base for staff working in Cardiff while living or staying outside the city centre.
Caerphilly sits within a 15-minute drive of four M4 junctions, giving relocating employees and project teams efficient access to the wider Cardiff Capital Region.
The South Wales Metro programme is upgrading rail infrastructure across the Cardiff Capital Region, including lines serving Caerphilly. Alongside better connectivity, works of this kind can bring rail and infrastructure teams into the area, adding a contractor layer on top of the town's corporate demand.
