We are Lancashire
There are lots of reasons to Invest in Lancashire
We’re a county that has already attracted many British and internationally owned businesses, who have re-invested in Lancashire, where a skilled workforce and some of England’s best universities are on hand to support future development and innovation.
We’re ideally placed for business with the UK and the rest of the world; linked by six major motorways, with Manchester and Liverpool international airports less than an hour’s drive away. London can be reached in just two hours by direct train from Preston and world class port logistics are on our doorstep. You will find it hard to beat our range of available business and industrial space with such great connectivity.
Lancashire isn’t just a stellar place to do business. It is also a county offering a superb way of life. There’s beautiful expanses of coastline, heritage in our cities and the stunning vistas offered across our countryside. Whether you want to spend an afternoon flying a kite on the beach, a day exploring new walking routes, a weekend discovering the charms of our cities or experiencing the excitement of Blackpool, we’re a county that offers it all.
We’re a destination with a thriving tourist industry with attractions and places to visit that suit all tastes, along with food and drink from coastal cafes, the best countryside inns and Michelin star dining. There’s also a superb retail offer with cities and towns like Clitheroe, Lancaster, Ormskirk and Preston combining a great mix of the big names with a thriving independent business scene run by locals passionate about what they sell and the areas in which they live. It’s time you took a closer look.
