THE LDP Business team is expanding its website as it bids to increase its coverage of the sectors and regions that are most vital to the local economy.
LDP Business is already the must-visit website for businesses in Merseyside and Cheshire, and today it is unveiling new microsites to focus on three key sectors and on business in Knowsley.
The key sectors are:
The maritime sector. Liverpool is justly proud of its seafaring past, but the maritime sector is still a huge one in Merseyside today. The new website will shine a light on the region’s port-related businesses and their successes.
The manufacturing sector. From giants such as Jaguar Land Rover to smaller specialists, manufacturers still play a vital role in the region. The new site will show users that we should still be proud of the manufacturing sector and the thousands of people who work in it.
The commercial property sector. The new website will expand on LDP Business’s already comprehensive coverage of the region’s retail, office and industrial property markets.
To visit the three sector sites, log on to www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/sectors
The paper is also launching a microsite covering business in Knowsley, ranging from the factories and distribution centres that employ hundreds to the small and innovative firms shaping Knowsley’s future.
We will speak to some of the key players in the borough and highlight the achievements of its businesses.

All the new sites feature guest bloggers, sharing their views on the latest news in their sectors in our new blog, called The Business.
Bloggers include Tony Caldeira, owner of Knowsley cushion manufacturer Caldeira, Lesley Martin-Wright, chief executive at Knowsley Chamber of Commerce, and Jim Teasdale, chief executive of Mersey Maritime.

The sites will be produced by the six-strong LDP Business team, led by business editor Bill Gleeson.
Daily Post editor Mark Thomas said: “These new sites, together with our daily business news coverage and monthly LDP Business magazine, show our commitment to the region’s business community.
“What we’re launching today is just the start. We aim to focus more and more on successful business sectors and local business communities across the city-region.
“Our new sites will give people in these sectors a chance to raise their profile by telling the world what they are doing. But we also want businesses to use these sites to interact with other companies and find new contacts.
“Whether you want to tell us about excellence by your staff or whether you’re looking for business opportunities, these sites will be the places to visit. But we need the help of Merseyside and Cheshire’s business community to make them a success – so log on and tell us your stories.”
