Construction and electrical firm moves its head office from city centre

A business which operates energy, electrical and construction divisions has moved its base to Selby, creating 25 jobs.

Planet Holdings, which has a £17m turnover, comprises of Planet-U (energy suppliers), Planet-E (electrical installation) and Planet-C (construction).

The move from Leeds has opened up 25 new jobs in Selby in trade and construction roles under companies Planet-E and Planet-C.

The new head office, located in Selby Business Park, is at the epicentre of surrounding economic hubs, with close access links to Leeds, Sheffield, York and Hull. One of the most recent projects Planet-C has undertaken is the acquisition of plots of land suitable for housing developments in the Selby area which is expected to create up to 125 affordable homes.

Grant Nicholson, CEO of Planet Holdings, said: “The decision to move was easy, with great access to the A1(M) and the M62 so it was a very strategic business decision to take the office there. I grew up in the area so I’m really excited for this opportunity to bring new jobs to Selby.”
