Business in Preston
Preston is Lancashire’s administrative centre and a genuine city economy: local government and public sector at scale, a large university, a legal and professional services base serving the county, and aerospace and advanced manufacturing on the edges around Warton and Salmesbury. The docks area has been redeveloped into retail and leisure. It sits at the junction of the M6, M55 and M65, which makes it the natural base for anything covering the whole county. The businesses here are larger on average than anywhere else Rich covers, and more likely to run a formal procurement process.

Preston — common questions
We are a Preston firm that has to run a procurement process. Can you work with that?
Yes, and it is more common here than in the smaller towns around it. We can provide written specifications, itemised pricing and the security and compliance answers that a public-sector or larger private tender asks for, rather than a one-page quote. The local director stays your point of contact through it, which is usually the thing missing when the alternative is a national carrier’s bid team.
Do you cover Lancashire generally or just Preston?
Rich Williams covers Preston, Blackburn and across Lancashire from Bolton, which is around forty minutes down the M61. Preston is the practical base for anything covering the wider county because of where the motorways meet. If you are further out — the Fylde coast, the Ribble Valley — it is still worth asking rather than assuming.
