About Livingston
Livingston is the largest town in West Lothian, attracting a mix of small businesses and large, well-known organisations to the office space in the town. As this area continues to evolve and grow, it increasingly provides options for shopping and dining, as well as brilliant transport connections for professionals.
One of the biggest factors in the success and growth of Livingston is its prime location, just 15 miles from the cultural hub of Edinburgh and 40 minutes by car from Glasgow, making it ideal for commuters. The huge shopping centre and designer outlet here has also helped boost the economy as one of the main attractions in the area.
Livingston was once a key shale oil area until as late as the early 1900s. From the 1960s, Livingston attracted pharmaceutical and technology companies, resulting in the area forming a major part of Scotland’s Silicon Glen. Several multi-national companies still have factories in this area, along with a number of contact centres, employers in the retail sector and healthcare companies. Its close proximity to major cities in Scotland makes it a prime spot for business premises.
