Further high profile companies set for i54 claims council

FURTHER high quality companies and new jobs are set for one of the region’s premier business parks.

Staffordshire County Council said a new land deal at the i54 business park in South Staffordshire heralded further investment at an already high-profile estate.

The local authority has concluded an agreement with Halesowen-based A&J Mucklow Group, which has an extensive portfolio of commercial property across the region, to buy plots D, E and F and to market to potential businesses. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
 
The i54 South Staffordshire partnership, made up of Staffordshire County Council, Wolverhampton City Council and South Staffordshire Council, wants to speed up the process of development on the site, which is home to factories for Jaguar Land Rover, Moog and IPS.

The county council said that with its expertise in bringing forward a range of commercial developments, Mucklow would now promote the 15-acre site to businesses. Just two plots now remain unoccupied on site.
 
Speaking on behalf of the i54 South Staffordshire Partnership, Staffordshire County Council’s economy leader Mark Winnington said: “The agreement to sell plots D, E and F is another milestone for i54 South Staffordshire. A&J Mucklow has the expertise and good track record of developing business sites across the region and so we’re confident we’ll see progress pretty quickly at i54. With the calibre of businesses operating on site, we expect to bring leading firms and good quality jobs.”
 
Mark Vernon, Development Director of A&J Mucklow Group added: “We are excited to bring forward this high profile development which will provide occupiers with bespoke leading edge production facilities located alongside world class businesses and with the benefits of immediate access to the national motorway network and a highly skilled labour force.”
