The Purley Forum is a sub group of the Develop Croydon Forum, recognising the area’s importance to Croydon and South London as an industrial and logistics location, as well as an alternative retail offer to the adjoining town centre.

The aims of the Purley Way Forum are:

• To share positive communications about the Purley Way as a place to work between employees and employers on the Purley Way.
• To engage stakeholders on the Purley Way in Croydon’s regeneration, promoting its positive impact on the area and discussing the opportunities and challenges of future development and economic growth in the area.
• To bring forward positive change in the area and collectively market the Purley Way as a place for investment, development and business retention, growth and attraction.

The Purley Way Forum was formed in late 2019 by Develop Croydon in partnership with Croydon Council, Sutton Council, Day Lewis, SHW and Prologis. The steering group coordinates and hosts regular open meetings for occupiers on the Purley Way and those interested in its future.

The Purley Way Forum also produces marketing materials and regular news updates, shared via the Develop Croydon website and via a quarterly e-newsletter.
