Located just west of Worksop, Explore Park is more than merely an employment zone; it is a dynamic hub poised to transform the future of manufacturing in the UK. With millions of pounds already invested, the site is home to Laing O’Rourke’s state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing facility, which opened in 2009. With full planning consent for an additional 50,000m² of space and a placemaking masterplan currently in development, the potential is vast. Explore Park will cement its position as a cornerstone of advanced manufacturing in the region and a catalyst for nationally significant infrastructure development.
These businesses will introduce pioneering green technologies and long-term investment, generating jobs and skills to enhance the local workforce and supply chain. This transformation will result in better working conditions, increased productivity, and the realisation of government aspirations for workers’ rights, ensuring a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
