East Anglia is a second-level region in the UK, which makes up one of three parts of the East of England (the first-level region). Its name comes from a Germanic tribe called the 'Angles', who settled in the area during the post-Roman period.
The region is made up of the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, as well as Peterborough's unitary authority, and covers an area of 12,561 square kilometres. Towns such as Huntingdon, March and Brampton make up just a small number of popular locations for businesses and visitors alike.
Historically, the region's economy has been based around agriculture, and Norfolk is still the UK's largest producer of potatoes. Today there are a wide range of employment opportunities available in East Anglia, and recruitment agencies will be able to connect job seekers and employers in the area. This page lists recruitment agencies in East Anglia, and further pages are available for more specific geographic areas - for instance, recruitment agencies in Huntingdon.
