Southport is a large seaside town with a population of over 90,000, making it the North West’s 11th most populous settlement. Its leisure, tourism and retail sectors contribute significantly to the economy, and there are a number of recruitment agencies in the area dedicated to these fields, as well as others.
The town has benefited considerably from investment in recent years, and was named England’s 14th most popular coastal resort in the 2011 census. Its leading attractions include Southport Pleasureland, Splash World, and the Model Railway Village - all of which support local employment. Additional tourism is brought in by the numerous annual events hosted in the town, including Southport Airshow (the biggest of its kind in the North West), the flower show, and 24-hour sailing race.
Further to its tourist credentials, Southport is now one of the North West’s leading conference locations, thanks in part to the multi-million pound investment at the Southport Theatre & Convention Centre, which has hosted the regional Labour Party conference for the past few years.
Southport has a busy retail sector, which includes the Central 12 (C12) Shopping Park, based near Southport Train Station, and the Meols Cop and Kew Retail Parks, just outside the centre. There is a variety of high-street outlets in the area, including Next, The Range, Argos and Homebase, in addition to a number of local, independent shops, making it a hotspot for retail jobs.
Southport is home to several specialist recruitment agencies, with temporary, permanent and contract vacancies in sectors such as engineering, healthcare, catering and hospitality, and financial services. These agencies are all less than 20 minutes’ walk from Southport Railway Station, with bus links available nearby.
