Our Submarine Solutions business is based in Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria – an attractive and closely-knit community on the west coast of England. The town is sheltered from the sea by Walney Island, providing a pleasant climate for more than 70,000 inhabitants.

With the breathtaking Lake District just twenty minutes away, Barrow fully deserves its reputation as the “gateway to the Lakes”. A new marina complex and planned cruise ship terminal will further enhance the town’s attractions as a tourist destination, and Barrow is generally considered the premier shopping town in the Lakes area. A number of retail parks complement excellent high street facilities, with a combination of privately owned local shops and major chain stores.

Recently announced funding also runs over the £100 million mark for the development and regeneration of the current docklands area, and further development of the successful commercial business parks set up to attract further businesses to the area.

Further development is already underway improving the already good road links from the M6 and a major railway station provides direct services to Carlisle, Manchester city centre and Manchester Airport, whilst also servicing a good number of the smaller local towns to the area. With a relaxed pace of life and a moderate cost of living, Barrow-in-Furness is the perfect place to build your future and raise a family.
