Supporting Plymouth businesses
Plymouth's economy has been shaped by the sea. His Majesty's Naval Base Devonport is the largest naval base in Western Europe, and Babcock carries out major ship and submarine maintenance there, supporting a large defence and engineering supply chain across the city. Princess Yachts builds luxury motor yachts in Plymouth, and many smaller boatbuilders, marine engineers and suppliers work around the waterfront.
Marine science is another strength. The Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory are both based in the city, and the University of Plymouth is known for marine and maritime research. In 2019 Plymouth Sound became the UK's first National Marine Park, reflecting the importance of the waters around the city.
Brittany Ferries sails from Plymouth to Roscoff in France and Santander in Spain, supporting travel, freight and logistics businesses. Tourism focuses on the Hoe, the Barbican and the city's history as the departure point of the Mayflower in 1620. Derriford Hospital is one of the region's largest employers and supports clinics, care providers and healthcare suppliers.
The city centre was rebuilt after the Second World War and is now being regenerated, while business parks at Derriford, Langage and Estover host offices, manufacturers and distributors.
Typical IT and website needs in Plymouth:
- Defence and marine engineering suppliers need MFA, encrypted laptops, patching and Cyber Essentials readiness.
- Marine science and research businesses need secure storage and sharing for large datasets.
- Tourism and hospitality businesses need fast mobile websites, booking systems and accurate Google listings.
- Care providers and clinics need secure email, dependable backups and well-managed devices.
Remote support works well for a city at the far end of the country's main road network.
