Skegness is the principal Lincolnshire coastal resort with a resident population of around 20,000 persons, increasing substantially in the summer months with the influx of holiday makers and day visitors. It lies some 40 miles east and south of Lincoln and Grimsby respectively, with main communication links via the A52 and A158 roads as well as a regional rail service to Grantham and Nottingham.

The site is located on Heather Road within a well-established industrial area on Skegness’s south-western side. This location provides easy access to the A52 (Wainfleet Road), which connects Skegness with Boston, Lincoln, Grantham, and beyond.

Heather Road is within a highly popular and expanding commercial district, close to Skegness Business Park and other well-known trade and retail occupiers. Nearby businesses include B&Q, Currys, Halfords, McDonalds and Pound Stretcher. The area also accommodates a wide cross-section of trade counter and light industrial operators including Howdens, Screwfix, Toolstation, Wolseley Plumb Centre and multiple builders’ merchants. Continued investment in Skegness further enhances the town’s profile as a business location, most recently with the opening of the nearby Skegness Community Diagnostic Centre.

Skegness - Originally a small fishing settlement, Skegness was transformed in the late 19th century with the arrival of the railway, which opened the resort to day-trippers and holidaymakers across the Midlands.

In 1908, the famous "Jolly Fisherman" was commissioned by Great Northern Railways, using the slogan "Skegness is SO bracing". This iconic image helped establish the town's national reputation as a one of Britain's best-known seaside resorts.

Building on that national profile, investment followed when Skegness became the birthplace of the Butlins holiday camp movement. Opened in 1936, it introduced large-scale holiday infrastructure that brought thousands of visitors to the town every season and provided a major source of local employment. More than 80 years later, Butlins remains both a cornerstone of the town's identity and a continuing contributor to its economy.

Beyond its visitor economy, Skegness has a strong track record as a commercial and industrial centre. For over a century, the town has supported a wide range of enterprises, from food production and engineering to manufacturing and distribution. Companies such as Skegness Springs Ltd, a fourth-generation manufacturer founded in 1923, highlight the area's tradition of engineering excellence and long-established industrial activity.

In more recent decades, this industrial heritage has been reinforced by the development of business parks and retail warehousing, attracting a range of national operators and consolidating Skegness' reputation as a proven commercial location. This is particularly visible in the south-west of the town, where Stallion Business Park is located. Household names such as B&Q and Halfords are complemented by food retailers including Lidl and Aldi, together with trade suppliers such as Travis Perkins.

The mix of historic character, blue chip investment and ongoing regeneration ensures Skegness offers not only a distinctive identity and strong seasonal economy, but also a robust environment for business growth. Stallion Business Park represents the next stage in Skegness' commercial development, delivering modern accommodation designed to meet the needs of today's businesses and future occupiers.
