About Lancashire

Software Development for Lancashire's Aerospace & Defence Industry

Lancashire is a major centre for UK aerospace and defence, with BAE Systems' Warton and Samlesbury sites employing over 10,000 people on military-aircraft programmes including the Typhoon and the next-generation Tempest fighter. The county's manufacturing heritage extends beyond aerospace to nuclear fuel (Springfields), automotive components, and precision engineering. Lancaster University and the University of Central Lancashire provide a strong graduate pipeline, and the Lancashire Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Cluster (LAMEC) coordinates industry collaboration. The East Lancashire e-commerce scene, led by Boohoo Group in Burnley, has created a fast-fashion digital hub, while Blackpool's tourism economy drives demand for visitor-engagement technology.
