Our Community

Proud to be part of the local community

Blagden Specialty Chemicals has been associated with the historic town of Westerham for nearly 25 years.

The town is set on the westerly borders of Kent and is surrounded by beautiful countryside which inspired Octavia Hill to establish the National Trust. Westerham is also well known for Chartwell which was the home of Sir Winston Churchill for 43 years and is now visited by thousands of people from across the world every year. We are proud to be part of the local community and support local charitable projects.
