Preston Jobs

Preston is now one of the main cities in Lancashire North West England and is located on the north bank of the River Ribble.  It has a population of approximately 130,000 and was granted city status in 2002, becoming England’s 50th city.  Since the middle ages Preston has been famous for textile manufacture and production and it became a boomtown in the Industrial Revolution.


Now it is a major hub of the British aerospace industry, with BAE Systems, the UK’s main military aircraft supplier having its headquarters close by in Warton.  Two of BAE’s major facilities are situated just outside the city. Preston is also home to Matalan Retail and Alstom Transport, the UK's main spare parts distribution centre.

Transport links in Preston are excellent with the Preston Railway Station operating as an important stop on the West Coast Main Line.  Three motorways terminate close to the city which provides easy access to Blackburn, Burnley and Manchester.


Since being awarded city status, Preston has been at the centre of a number of developments, including residential projects, as well as offices and hotels.  A new Central Business District is in the planning stage with numerous retail opportunities.  This can only be good news for people looking for employment, as more and more jobs will become available through professional agencies such as Daniel Adams.
