Forty-five jobs a step closer at Markham Vale

Work has started on Sheffield-based Protec International’s new site, which is set to create up to 45 new jobs at Derbyshire County Council and Henry Boot Developments’ flagship regeneration site Markham Vale.

Protec International is a supplier of flame retardant temporary protection materials approved by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) to the construction industry.

Stephen Cox, managing director of Protec International, said: “We look forward to moving into our new base at Markham Vale later this year, pushing ahead with our growth plans which will create up to 45 new jobs across both phases. The location couldn’t be better for accessing the national motorway network, and will allow us to continue delivering our range of building protection solutions to our construction industry clients on a next-day basis.”

Andrew Priestley, development surveyor at Henry Boot Developments (HBD), said: “It’s great to see work starting on site – with its combination of high-quality, purpose-built property and an unrivalled location and transport links, we’ve no doubt that Markham Vale will prove the ideal base for Protec as the business grows and continues to expand its team. Working to a 26-week timeline, we look forward to completing the Protec development in September.”
