    The North West builds the Royal Navy's submarines at Barrow-in-Furness and has deep regimental roots, from the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment to the region's Reserve units. Its large cities and industrial towns give veterans a big market for trades, security, logistics and professional services, and many run businesses in the places they grew up and joined from.
