Location:
Located on England’s east coast, Lincolnshire covers 2,200 sq miles (5,921 sq km) and is the fourth largest county in England and Wales. It’s therefore not surprising that Lincolnshire is an area of enormous choice, variety and opportunity.

It’s also a county that’s going places with output growth, workforce numbers and population growth all outstripping national trends.

The County is diverse in character and beauty against a rural backdrop, while the main centres are also growing and diversifying fast. From Lincoln, the stunning Cathedral city, through historic market towns such as Boston, Grantham, Stamford, Louth, Sleaford and Gainsborough, to bustling coastal resorts like Skegness and Mablethorpe, sustainable business growth is being achieved without affecting our renowned quality of life.

Transportation services:
Its highly strategic location means Lincolnshire can serve the whole of the UK and provide the vital link into mainland Europe. The Midlands, South East, North West and North East are all within easy reach by road, while the bustling east coast ports, strong rail network and access to five regional international airports complete the optimum logistics mix. The new Eurostar service from St Pancras makes Europe easily accessible, meaning that train journeys from Lincolnshire to Paris and Brussels now take less than five hours.

Available sites:
Lincolnshire allows you the opportunity to build your own specification in an urban or rural setting, using the diverse range of development land available from 0.2 to over 60 hectares.
