Welcome to the latest edition of the Business Guide

Chorley continues to be a great place to do business. Economic development and business support are some of the Council’s main priorities as we seek to develop a strong local economy and a place where businesses can flourish.

Within this guide, you’ll find information on the key business sectors in Chorley, as well as some of the companies who have made Chorley their business home.

As a business location, Chorley is second to none, with excellent motorway links, easy access to cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Preston, plus lower commercial premises costs and a skilled workforce.

Over the past couple of years we have delivered some exciting developments such as Strawberry Fields Digital Hub – a community of thriving businesses in state-of-the-art premises close to the M61 motorway, and the Market Walk extension within our vibrant town centre, adding big brand names and local independent retail and leisure businesses to Chorley’s already fantastic town centre offering.

We also have a track record of delivering a range of prestigious re-development projects. Buckshaw Village comprises 420 acres/169 hectares of the former Royal Ordnance Factory and is one of the largest mixed-use schemes to be undertaken in the north west. The area has been transformed, with the high quality Revolution Park hosting strategically important distribution centres serving the north of England and beyond. We have exciting plans for further state-of-the-art developments in the borough such as a £11 million development set for Alker Lane, Euxton, that will comprise of office and light industrial space. Plus, as we work towards our goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030, businesses will play a key part in this.
