Initiative launches to attract investment in Fylde

Fylde Council has launched an initiative aimed at attracting businesses and investors to the borough.

The new Invest in Fylde website has been developed by the economic development and regeneration team with support from other council departments, councillors, local businesses and Lancashire business support partners.

The site highlights the comprehensive support available to existing enterprises, start-ups and new investors, including resources made available by Boost Lancashire, UCLan, and Access to Finance.

Invest in Fylde offers a ‘What If?’ feature which lists the considerations of a business looking to relocate to Fylde and conveys the advantages available to all if they did so. 

For existing businesses, the Invest page details the support available, and the resources they have at their disposal already in many sectors.

Coun Karen Buckley, leader of Fylde Council, said: "Over the past three years, Fylde Council has delivered a staggering £37m to local businesses, charities, and community groups across the Borough, and I am delighted to be able to launch this service to build on this support.

"The Invest in Fylde concept demonstrates how highly Fylde Council values local businesses, both those already established and those considering locating here. The website will be an innovative new way to promote Fylde as a business destination and provides a one-stop source for business support and advice. We look forward to helping people make the most of their business opportunities.”
