Lancashire Jobs

Lancashire is now, along with Seattle in the USA and Toulouse in France, one of the leading centres for internationally renowned technology development and manufacture. This is in part due to the aerospace industry, which has over 26000 employees in around the region with 100 companies located there, including the likes of BAE Systems, Rolls Royce coupled with high level suppliers like Aircelle and the Smiths Group. This has created a variety of opportunities for prospective employees which local recruitment agencies like Daniel Adams regularly post.

Although the technology sector is a large employer in the region, big public offices like administrative support, regulation, health, welfare and transport are also increasingly looking for employees. Furthermore, there is a growing private sector in retail, hospitality and finance which has made its mark in Lancashire and is now providing a variety of career opportunities.

The growth of real estate and corporative services has also provided an extra 30 000 jobs over the last for years in this part of the UK. This has played a large part in the expansion of industry in Lancashire. The main motivators behind this increase have been wide scale real estate initiatives, machinery parts and equipment leasing, computer associated businesses and business related services such as legal, accounting, and management services, industrial cleaning, call centres and recruitment.

In Lancashire, employment is at a record high due to the increase in jobs in the areas mentioned above. This has meant that over the last 10 years, Lancashire’s employment levels have risen above the national average. In certain areas, the region can boast full employment and much higher rates in comparison to other counties. This is due to lower labour costs and affordable rents for industries and offices.
