Preston Jobs

Preston jobs have seen a boom with over 130,000 residents, the area has grown significantly when it comes to the number of local residents, the job and employment opportunities available, and the regeneration and funding that has been injected into it. The government strategy is to place Preston as a new place to be, a key city in the North West, after Liverpool and Manchester. As a prominent business and retail space, with corporations spanning a number of industries, it aims to be an attractive place to start a business, career, and life.

Preston is a market town which is steeped in years of tradition, having received the Royal Charter during the twelfth century. Preston was heavily cleaned up after World War 2, and during the 50s and 60s many slum areas were sorted. The 1950s also saw transport extending in the area, with the Preston-By-Pass being built, and the commercial area of the St. George’s retail development followed in the 1960s. In 2002, Preston officially became a ‘city’, with it being mainly seen as the administrative hub for Lancashire. It took its place as the 50th city during the 50th year of the Queen reign. Further expansion is planned for the city, with regeneration funding, projects, and developments taking place across the region, such as the Titherbarn Scheme amongst others.

The commercial sector within Preston is still specialising in areas such as textiles, engineering, and manufacturing, with leading businesses like BAE systems and Alstom in the area. In addition to this, Preston jobs have developed within new industries that have moved to the area. The business industries within Preston now include professional services, technical, and information technology. This broadening of opportunities also drives the need for credible recruitment agencies such as Daniel Adams to help bring together talented individuals and businesses. The area is also host to large numbers of students, as Central Lancashire University is situated there, so with over 30,000 students studying there annually, businesses and students have access to a wealth of temporary, contract, and flexible Preston job opportunities.

In the last decades, Preston’s growth can be seen through its diverse culture with residents from a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The centre offers a busy, cosmopolitan atmosphere, yet just outside the centre, there are green spaces a plenty including 7 park areas, riverside developments, and rural villages in the glorious countryside.

In 2012, Preston became the European City of Sport hosting in excess of one hundred different sporting events and competitions drawing over 5k individuals who came to test their skills and compete in many sporting events.
