In the mid 1980s, employment was reduced by the closure of the Chilton factory and others.

A new group was formed, the Trade, Industry and Employment Committee, under the chairmanship of Jack Williams, with the express aim of improving employment in the town.

See "Trade, Industry and Employment", September 1985.

As a result, the Charnham Lane trading estate was developed.

See "Trade, Industry and Employment", 1987.

One of the key firms on the Charnham Lane site was Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) Ltd. Martin Crane, editor of Chain Mail wrote an article on KCS Ltd in May 2023.
