Mansfield is a small market town based in North Nottinghamshire with a population approaching 70,000. Although Mansfield is known for many things, a business epicentre is certainly not one of them. That said, Mansfield obviously has an economy and businesses that thrive.

The main employer in the region had traditionally been the coal mines. There are many different collierys in the area, all of which provided jobs for generations which in turn kept the local economy buoyant. During the 80s, many of the mines were closed which lead to high unemployment in the region. The knock-on effect this had was felt in the local economy as a whole as people had far less money to spend. As a consequence, many businesses were unable to survive which lead to further unemployment and a perpetual downward spiral.

This has been the case in many parts of the UK which were reliant on industries such as mining and many areas, even decades on, are struggling to recover.

Mansfield has an indoor shopping centre which attracts many visitors each year. Although it is not on the same scale of other local retail centres such as Nottingham or Sheffield, it has enough shops to produce a sizeable contribution to the local economy. The other main part of the economy is manufacturing. Mansfield boasts a number of industrial estates in the area, each with multi-million pound installations producing goods for all over the UK and the rest of the world. Large industry also has the benefit of producing jobs for the local workforce, although manufacturing is largely mechanised now in comparison to years gone by.

The service sector is not as big as in other areas locally, but is growing. There are businesses no offering such things as IT Support services, web design and search engine optimisation. Although not confined to computers, this is where much of the service sector is headed.
