Business in Blackpool

Blackpool runs on visitors more completely than almost any town in the country. The Pleasure Beach, the tower, the illuminations and the hotel and guest-house trade behind the front dominate employment, and the season swings the local economy between a packed August and a very quiet February. Away from the seafront there is a substantial food production and light manufacturing base, and public-sector employment at scale. For the visitor half of the town, committing to fixed annual costs for capacity needed four months a year is the recurring problem.

Sectors we work with around Blackpool

Blackpool — common questions

Our Blackpool hotel is full in August and near empty in January. Can costs follow?

They can if it is arranged that way from the start rather than discovered afterwards. Phone licences and mobile connections can be added for the season and removed after, and guest Wi-Fi provisioned for a full house without being paid for through the winter. The default, if nobody raises it at signing, is paying peak rates for eight months you do not need them.

Guests complain about the Wi-Fi more than anything else. What actually fixes it?

Usually coverage and separation rather than raw speed. A guest network kept apart from the one your booking system and card terminals use means a full house streaming in the evening cannot slow the business down, and access points placed per floor rather than one router in an office fix the dead rooms people actually complain about.

The 2027 switch-off affects Blackpool too. Openreach plans to retire its traditional phone network by 31 January 2027. Check your phone lines, alarms and payment terminals, and plan the move with your provider.
