Preston has always been a busy place and a lively home to many diverse trades. While it did encounter some rough patches throughout its long history, the city always managed to shine as a well-developed, attractive commercial destination.

The recent years have brought many developments to Preston.

To keep you in touch with all that is happening in Preston right now, I publish daily fresh information and articles. While many websites offer news about the city and the county, I find them all to be too impersonal. I, on the other hand, attempt to always present the personal take of the local resident, born and raised in Preston.

Now, most of you must have already heard about the Preston Guild, the famous trade unit that has existed since 1179. The city’s business and commercial environment has always been blossoming, even in times of unprecedented crises. Nowadays, as technologies develop, fresh market segments open, and new professions arise all the time.

Preston is, of course, part of the global economic development trends. Therefore, I try to collect, compile, and analyze as much information as possible to help anyone interested in the Preston business and commercial environment. I try to put all the latest developments in a relevant context both regionally and nationally.
