Jobs in leyland area

Leyland is part of the Central Lancashire New Town zone that was created in 1970, along with Chorley and Preston. Since then, the region has grown to become one of the most important commercial locations in the Northwest of England. Leyland's growing national and international reputation has helped inspire significant growth in the local economy, making it an attractive proposition for those looking for employment.

Leyland has been the focus of several redevelopment programmes in recent years with a number of major retailers moving into the area. Many old factories have been replaced by modern retail developments with a large Tesco superstore built in 2002, and additional projects such as an attractive new studio apartment development added to cater for the town's growing professional population.

Leyland town centre is also scheduled for major renewal, which will include the creation of pedestrian friendly open squares, new street furniture and traffic reduction. Other retail chains in Leyland include Morrisons, Homebase and Argos, all of which provide employment opportunities at various levels.

In the wider area, a major regeneration project worth around £1.8 million is underway to improve transport links and establish a new Central Business District in nearby Preston. Such major projects mean constant new job opportunities are arising in a variety of sectors as the Leyland area becomes part of a dynamic, economic hub. Business investment in and around Leyland continues to flourish. Major UK brands such as Carphone Warehouse and Homeserve have based their communication centres in the area providing yet more vacancies, while BAE Systems provides over 10,000 jobs in the aerospace industry.

With a growing economy and an ever expanding business sector, Leyland is an attractive prospect for those in search of new employment opportunities. Locally based agencies like Daniel Adams have strong links with a wide range of companies in the area and can therefore help jobseekers find the right position. Agencies use all available resources to find jobs for their clients and have an excellent working knowledge of the region, allowing them to liaise directly with both large and small companies to make sure that applicants find a job that matches their experience, qualifications and requirements.
