Advanced Manufacturing Park Takes Off

UK Strategic Partnership, the joint venture company created by landowner UK Coal Plc and property developer Strategic Sites, reports that virtually all the 12 available buildings are under offer.

This follows the creation of a new AMP support team, headed by Joe Anwyl, and the decision by UK Strategic Partnership and Yorkshire Forward to provide tangible help to companies in the advanced manufacturing sector.  Financial incentives include up to 18 months rent free, plus technical help towards fit-out works and assistance towards securing grants and other help.

Chief Executive Paul Barber is delighted with the recent upsurge in interest. "We have always had faith that the AMP offered an unique proposition to advanced manufacturing companies and we have gone to great lengths to devise a financial package that works for them." he said.

As well as leasing or buying existing units, qualifying companies can have "made to measure" buildings constructed.

This initiative is time limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The AMP, close to J33 of the M1 motorway near Sheffield,  already provides world-class facilities for Boeing, Rolls-Royce, the University of Sheffield and Dormer Tools.
