Blackpool & Lancashire

Well known for its iconic attractions such as the Pleasure Beach, historic trams, the famous Blackpool Tower, and dazzling illuminations, Blackpool attracts approximately 18 million visitors annually and generates an impressive £1.5 billion in visitor spending. Following a period of decline in its visitor numbers during the early 2010s, the town began to successfully reverse its fortunes from 2014 onwards through a sustained and strategic programme of investment aimed at revitalizing its tourism and local economy. Blackpool and the wider Fylde Coast region boast a rich and diverse economic history, reflecting its longstanding importance as a hub of commercial activity and innovation.

In addition to its tourism appeal, the Fylde Coast is home to an entrepreneurial and highly skilled population who possess the qualities necessary to support a wide range of sectors and commercial enterprises. These range from world-leading international manufacturing and engineering giants to bespoke artisan industries, as well as a thriving community of home-grown entrepreneurial businesses that contribute significantly to the local economy. The region’s economic landscape is characterized by a combination of well-established industries such as food manufacturing and production, office administration, aviation, and cutting-edge medical technologies (medtech).

Moreover, the Fylde Coast is witnessing the development of dynamic business clusters that surround advanced manufacturing and engineering sectors, alongside emerging technology and energy markets. This evolving industrial base is fostering the growth of a new, highly skilled, and well-trained workforce that is poised to meet the demands of future economic opportunities. These developments position Blackpool and the Fylde Coast as a vibrant and forward-looking region with strong potential for sustained economic growth and innovation across multiple industries.
