Employment in Bourne
Lincolnshire produces around 12% of the UK's food, so it's no surprise that food and farming is the biggest economic industry in the county - food manufacturing therefore represents a big industry in Bourne, as it does in the rest of Lincolnshire.
Retail and engineering also contribute quite heavily to the employment sectors in Bourne, closely followed by health, education and construction. Other employment sectors in Bourne are marketing & design, website development & software engineering, agriculture and warehousing & distribution.
There are several large companies in Bourne that employ a large pool of people from within the local area. There is also quite a large industrial area in and around Cherry Holt Road (including South Fen Road and Spalding Road) that is home to over 60 businesses (please see https://suite.endole.co.uk/explorer/postcode/pe10-9la for more information). Due to the regeneration and expansion of the town, jobs in the construction industry are also quite easy to come by.
Office based jobs are under-represented in Bourne when compared to the East Midlands average, with many residents employed in management, professional and technical professions commuting outside the district to work in Peterborough and other locations.
To make Bourne a more sustainable community there is a need to reduce out-commuting and redress the balance between housing development and employment opportunities where the gap has wipened quite considerably over recent years due to a large increase in the volume of housing being built.
