Lancashire is a brilliant collective of brands, brains, products, people, places, services, heritage, land and opportunity.

Pre-Covid, we were already developing ambitious plans for growth, bringing the county together behind a new vision set to transform our economy and fully realise our potential for the benefit of all our residents.

Strong place leadership is ready to tackle the challenges and deliver against our objectives, utilising all the inherent qualities that make Lancashire the place it is. Our innovation, our industrial excellence, our connectivity, hard work and tenacity. We are ready to create, build and regenerate. We are ready to redefine Lancashire for a post-Covid world. Engaging with businesses and residents from across the entire county to celebrate every inch of our towns, cities, villages, coast and countryside.
