Supporting Worthing businesses
Worthing is West Sussex's largest town, a seaside resort with a long promenade and the Worthing Pier at its heart. The town has a relatively older population compared with many places, and that has shaped its economy: health and social care, including care homes, home care agencies, GP surgeries, dental practices and pharmacies, is one of the biggest sectors. Worthing Hospital is a major employer.
Manufacturing has a notable presence too. GSK has a pharmaceutical manufacturing site in Worthing, one of the town's largest private employers, and there are smaller engineering and production businesses on the industrial estates to the north and east of the town.
The seafront and town centre support hotels, cafés, restaurants, the Pavilion Theatre and Connaught Theatre, and independent shops. Tourism is seasonal, with summer events and visitors from across Sussex. Many residents commute to Brighton, Gatwick or London, and a growing number of small businesses and freelancers work from home in the town and neighbouring Goring, Lancing, Ferring and Shoreham.
Worthing's economy creates these common IT and website needs:
- Care providers and healthcare practices handle sensitive personal records, so secure email, MFA, encrypted devices and the right access controls are essential.
- Care homes also need reliable Wi-Fi across the building for care planning apps and residents' video calls.
- Hospitality and retail businesses need fast mobile websites, accurate opening hours on Google and online booking or ordering.
- Tradespeople and home-based businesses need professional email, simple quoting tools and a website that wins enquiries.
Most of this can be done remotely, which is especially useful for care settings where visitors need careful arranging.
