Fabricom moves headquarters to Europarc
ENGINEERING company Cofely Fabricom GDF SUEZ is moving its headquarters to North East Lincolnshire’s flagship business park, Europarc, which is owned by Hull-based developer the Wykeland Group.
The company, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, is bringing together its corporate and engineering operations under one roof to further enhance its service to clients, which include some of the biggest names in the energy industry. Cofely Fabricom GDF SUEZ has brought together operations from Immingham and Brigg into the Origin 3 complex on the premium Genesis Office Park, part of Europarc.
Europarc began to take shape in 2000 and has been a steady magnet for inward investment as well as local businesses looking to expand and relocate. Some 2,000 people work on the business park.
Work recently started on the next phase of Europarc. Infrastructure work will open up the 6.5 acres adjacent to the main approach road into the site to make way for the Europarc Village, where a new pub/restaurant operation is under construction and scheduled to open in October 2014.
Wykeland purchased the remaining development land from Yorkshire Forward in 2011 and has planning permission for more than 600,000 sqft on the remaining 46 acres for a mixture of manufacturing, office and warehousing facilities.
Head of asset management at Wykeland, Grant Edmondson, said: “The next phase of our Europarc master plan is to create a village that will incorporate a variety of amenity offerings, including a hotel and a nursery, facilities that existing occupiers have been asking for and are needed to attract more inward investors and established businesses with potential for growth and job creation.”
