Lindum’s work to build four new industrial units in Calverton, Nottinghamshire has reached a major milestone, with the steel frames now in place.
The new units are being built for Gedling Borough Council in response to growing demand for commercial space at Hill Crest Business Park.
Businesses in the park’s eight existing units include a machinery manufacturer, directory publisher, shopfitting contractors and a facilities management company.
The additional units, designed to blend in with neighbouring facilities for a seamless fit into the current site, will be tailored to suit the needs of local small and medium-sized enterprises.
Lindum Construction Manager Simon Hope said: “It’s great to be working with Gedling Borough Council on another project.
“These new facilities will enable local businesses to thrive by giving them a base of operation in an already popular estate. It also offers opportunities to local people by creating new jobs in Calverton.”
The existing car park will be extended to 41 spaces to accommodate space for tenants of the new units and existing businesses. There will be four disabled access bays and two EV chargers.
Facilities will include a total 194m2 of photovoltaic (PV) panels for renewable electricity generation, and a new bio-diverse planting scheme, in alignment with Gedling Borough Council’s net-zero carbon ambitions.
Councillor Jenny Hollingsworth, Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy at Gedling Borough Council, said: “We’re pleased to be working with Lindum on the construction of four additional industrial units at the popular Hill Crest Business Park.
“The delivery costs for the extension of this project are supported by D2N2 LEP with grant funding alongside the UK Government Shared Prosperity fund (UKSPF) and further capital funding by Gedling Borough Council.
“These eco-friendly developments provide valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses to thrive and offer employment to the local community.”
The project was procured through the PAGABO framework.
