500 jobs to be created as part of £60m plan
The former Imperial Tobacco site in Nottingham covers 48 acres and was purchased by Henry Boot Developments (HBD) last year as part of a multimillion pound deal.
New plans reveal that the new development, named ‘New Horizon’, will provide up to 500,000 sq ft of industrial buildings and will create 500 jobs.
Justin Sheldon, regional manager at HBD, said: “On completion, our investment in the site will exceed £60 million, with the potential to create more than 500 new jobs. I cannot think of a better located site, capable of providing this volume and scale of development so readily accessible to the motorway, ring road, city centre and labour force.”
