Why Kent?
The name "Kent" is of ancient Celtic origin, dating back to at least the 4th century BC, making it one of Britain’s oldest recorded place names still in use today. Early Greek explorers, such as Pytheas, referred to the area as Kantion, while the Romans called it Cantium and its people the Cantii or Cantiaci. The Anglo-Saxons later used the forms Cent, Cent lond, or Centrice.
The meaning of Kent is commonly interpreted as "coastal district," "corner-land," or "land on the edge," reflecting its position at the south-eastern tip of England. This sense of "edge" or "border" is echoed in related words across Celtic and other European languages, such as Welsh (cant), Breton (cant), and Dutch (kant), all meaning "edge" or "side"
Kent Expertise
Kent, located in South East England, is renowned for its scenic landscapes, rich history, and vibrant communities.
With a population of nearly 1.9 million, it’s England’s fifth most populous county and home to the historic city of Canterbury, the bustling county town of Maidstone, and major towns like Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, and Ashford.
Famous for the iconic White Cliffs of Dover and its lush orchards, Kent is nicknamed “the Garden of England.” The county’s diverse geography includes the North Downs, High Weald, and Romney Marsh, offering stunning countryside and national landscapes.
Kent’s strategic position between London and mainland Europe has shaped its story—from ancient Jutish settlements and Saint Augustine’s arrival in Canterbury, to its vital role in national defence with the Cinque Ports and Dover Castle, known as the “key of England.” Today, Kent blends heritage with innovation, featuring thriving industries, scientific research, and a rich cultural legacy.
