Description:

Grantham has had long associations with the engineering industry and the manufacturing economy continues to grow and diversify. Recent growth has included firms based on new technology, now capable of producing an increasingly diverse range of end products including food, timber, plastics and textile products. The availability of sites and premises in urban and rural locations has helped local firms to expand and has encouraged new companies to relocate in this part of Lincolnshire.  If companies carry on locating to Grantham at the current rate then property prices can only go up.

The service sector has also grown rapidly in recent years with increases in sectors such as hotel and catering and financial services.   Unemployment is lower than the UK average and is the 2nd lowest for the district.

Grantham serves the four main towns in the district when it comes to shopping and there have been a number of high quality retail schemes developed, the most recent being a major high quality indoor shopping centre, St Peters Place. The main towns within the district boast major High Street names such as Marks & Spencer, Body Shop, Woolworths and Boots.
