Supporting Livingston businesses
Livingston was designated a new town in 1962 and has grown into the largest town in West Lothian. In the 1980s and 1990s it was a key part of Scotland's "Silicon Glen" electronics industry. Some of the big plants have since closed, but manufacturing remains important: Mitsubishi Electric makes air conditioning equipment in the town, and Kirkton Campus and Houstoun Industrial Estate host life science, technology and engineering firms.
The town centre combines a large shopping area with the Livingston Designer Outlet, and West Lothian Council is based in the Civic Centre. West Lothian College is in the town, and the M8 and rail links to Edinburgh and Glasgow make it a popular base for firms that want access to both cities with lower costs than the capital.
Livingston's business base brings particular needs:
- Manufacturers and life science firms need secure networks, controlled access to production systems and data backups that are tested.
- Distribution and logistics businesses near the M8 need scanners, label printers, warehouse Wi-Fi and dependable connectivity.
- Retailers and service businesses in the centre need card payments, websites and social channels that keep working.
- Growing small firms need Microsoft 365 set up properly so new starters can be added quickly.
Many Livingston firms are branches or suppliers of larger organisations and are asked to show they take security seriously. Tidying up admin rights, turning on MFA, encrypting laptops and documenting the setup goes a long way.
