Brampton is a bustling city located just north west of Toronto, close to Toronto Pearson International Airport, and is bordered by Halton Hills, Caledon, Snelgrove, Vaughan, and Mississauga’s hydro corridor. Popularized most recently by local-turned-world-renowned comic, Russel Peters, Brampton is highly diverse and has grown to be one of the most populous cities in the area known as the ‘Greater Golden Horseshoe Region’.

Driven by the rising cost of real estate in Toronto (including high corporate and property taxes), many families and corporations have elected to call Brampton their home. Lower land costs, excellent road infrastructure and better tax structures have created ideal corporate conditions for warehouses, factories and head offices for several major companies that provide ample employment opportunities for Brampton residents in economic sectors that include:

•   business services
•   communication/information technologies
•   food and beverage
•   life sciences
•   logistics
•   manufacturing
•      retail administration

This influx of large businesses choosing to locate in Brampton has provided significant sources of employment in Brampton, at companies such as:

•      Bacardi

Of course, Brampton enjoys easy access to major highways, such as Highways 401, 410 and 407, connecting it to surrounding residential areas in Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, and, of course, Toronto.
