CONSTRUCTION COMPLETES ON BIRMINGHAM MANUFACTURING FACILITY, SECURING 70 NEW JOBS

Construction has completed on a 50,000 sqft warehouse in Rubery for Aquapak Polymers Ltd, with around 70 new jobs now earmarked for the region at the manufacturing hub.

Harris Lamb secured the Kings Norton-based manufacturing firm as a tenant at Hollymoor Point on a pre-let agreement last year.

Acting on behalf of Hortons’ Estate and Trebor Developments, Harris Lamb oversaw the 15-year lease, and has now handed the facility over to the new tenants, enabling the business to drive forward with its ambitious expansion plans.

Neil Slade, of Harris Lamb’s Agency team, said: “Having made the decision to invest heavily in its expansion, Aquapak agreed a pre-let on the site in 2016.

“With the building now complete and the manufacturing hub operational, it is expected that around 70 new jobs will be created over the next two years, bringing further investment and opportunities to the region, and supporting its ongoing regeneration.”
