Opened in September 2017, the £12m Lancashire Energy HQ (LEHQ) is a state-of-the-art facility developed by Blackpool and The Fylde College (B&FC) and co-funded by the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership. Located within Blackpool Airport’s newly established Enterprise Zone, the centre is purpose-built to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the engineering, manufacturing, and energy sectors.
LEHQ offers a wide range of training programmes for individuals aged 16 and over who are looking to advance their careers in these high-demand industries. The facility is equipped with industry-standard resources and staffed by experts in education, ensuring high-quality STEM training. The evolving curriculum is closely aligned with the needs of employers, who play a key role in shaping the centre’s offerings. Through this partnership, LEHQ is positioned to become a central hub for training across the engineering and energy sectors.
The centre’s mission is to cultivate the next generation of engineers and technicians, focusing on training and skills development across engineering, manufacturing, and energy fields. With sectors such as aerospace, nuclear, tidal, wave, and wind energy driving innovation, the Fylde Coast region is uniquely placed—both geographically and geologically—to capitalise on these emerging industries. This growth will, in turn, generate new jobs, and by developing LEHQ, we are helping to ensure a skilled local workforce that will support the region’s continued growth and long-term prosperity.
