Situated on England’s southeast coast, the resort town of Eastbourne, East Sussex, calls itself ‘the UK’s sunniest place’. A thriving location for the tourism and leisure sectors, Eastbourne’s seafront boasts multiple hotels, a theatre, a museum, a pier, and a contemporary art gallery, plus many notable Victorian-era attractions that boost culture and crowds today.
Eastbourne’s proximity to London – less than 55 miles south of the capital – and prominence in the county of East Sussex helps enhance the large contribution tourism makes to its economy, and it is a popular location for sightseeing and public events and conferences. This is supported by its nearby localities, including the rich histories of Hastings and Hailsham and the cultural significance of Bexhill, known as the birthplace of British Motor Racing.
Other key industries in Eastbourne include education, manufacturing, technology, healthcare, retail and trade sectors, demonstrating its attractive economic diversity. Called a ‘creative cluster’ by UK innovation charity NESTA, Eastbourne’s 969 creative firms provide employment for around 3,000 people. Eastbourne District General Hospital is perhaps the region’s most significant public sector employer, and its education provision includes a large campus as part of East Sussex College.
Eastbourne and its neighbouring localities in the East Sussex region continue to be hugely attractive prospects, not only for cultural and tourism sector businesses but executives looking to relocate to appealing UK coastal destinations.
