Industrial park open for business

A new £5.5m industrial park in Coalville that’s set to create 120 jobs has been officially opened.

BSP Consulting provided geotechnical, civil and structural engineering services for Apollo Court Business Park, built by Willmott Dixon for Leicestershire County Council.

It has created a range of high-spec industrial units ranging from 1,000 to 9,000 sq. ft. which will support start-ups and firms looking to expand.

The venture is part-funded by a £2.4m allocation from the Local Growth Fund, a pot of government funding awarded to the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership Limited (LLEP) for projects that benefit the local area and economy.
