Trebor picks up ‘Knowledge Park’ contract

TREBOR Developments has been named as the development partner for a 130,000 sq ft business park in Burnley on a site next to the town’s £84m Knowledge Quarter campus.

The scheme, known as Burnley Knowledge Park, will seek to attract growing advanced engineering, manufacturing and digital industries. 

Birmingham-based Trebor will work with Burnley Council which owns the site.

Council Leader, Julie Cooper, said: “I’m delighted we have secured a successful national developer to take forward the Knowledge Park site. They are delivering niche business parks across the UK, including the successful Malvern Hills Science Park, so I’m confident they’ll deliver an attractive business park to attract new businesses to Burnley.

“The Knowledge Park will provide a unique offer to advanced manufacturing and digital industries who can tap into the advanced research and development, and the unrivalled manufacturing and robotic technologies from the adjacent Knowledge Quarter education campus.”
