Accounting Jobs Lancashire

There are 5 counties in the North West, Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Lancashire. This area makes up 10% of the GDP of the UK, 11% of employment and slightly less than 12% of the total UK population.

Lancashire, as a county is one of the centres of business in the North West. Lancashire and surrounding counties collectively drive an economy worth £20 Billion, making it one of the largest sub-regions within the UK. This is turn pulls in a variety of international businesses and companies, who of course, need accounting staff for their accounting departments.

Three international airports and main line railways run within this area which makes travelling to the North West a breeze. Even from other countries. Having such great transport links, it is easy to see why companies are flocking to this wonderful part of the country.

In the past, Lancashire was one of the hearts of the manufacturing sector, however, moving with the times, there are many large, well known names based up here. BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Leyland Trucks, the list goes on. International companies also have large offices here, Akzo Nobel and Alstrom Traction have UK offices showing that the North West has an emerging chemical industry as well as a great engineering future. The Co-Op bank has a very large office here also, as well as other financial institutions.
