Supporting Chichester businesses
Chichester is a small cathedral city with an economy far broader than its size suggests. The Goodwood Estate, just to the north, hosts the Festival of Speed, the Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood horse racing, drawing very large crowds and supporting event suppliers, caterers, hotels and hospitality businesses across the area. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars builds its cars at Goodwood, bringing a high-end manufacturing presence and a network of suppliers.
The coastal plain around Chichester has one of the largest concentrations of commercial glasshouse growers in the UK, producing salad crops, peppers, herbs and flowers for national supermarkets. Those growers rely on packhouses, logistics and agricultural technology businesses. Chichester Harbour, a protected landscape, supports sailing clubs, marinas, boatyards and marine services.
Culture and education are significant too. Chichester Festival Theatre is one of the country's leading regional theatres, the Pallant House Gallery holds an important collection of modern British art, and the University of Chichester has campuses in the city and at Bognor Regis. St Richard's Hospital is a large employer.
The city centre has independent shops, restaurants and professional practices, while the surrounding villages include many second homes, holiday lets and home-based businesses.
This produces some particular IT and website needs:
- Event, hospitality and holiday let businesses need booking systems, fast mobile websites and guest Wi-Fi that copes with busy weekends.
- Growers and packhouses rely on office systems, label printing and dependable connectivity in rural locations.
- Marine businesses need simple, well-maintained websites and email that works from the water's edge.
- Professional practices need secure Microsoft 365, MFA and reliable backups.
Remote support works well across a district this rural and spread out.
