“Mid Sussex Council has been absolutely fantastic to work with. We have been impressed with not only the incredibly bright and nimble team they’ve pulled together, but also how they were truly able to ‘move at the speed of start-ups’ and help us on a number of different fronts as we explored Haywards Heath and decided to make it our new home.”
