Kier has won a contract to deliver Braintree District Council's £14.7million enterprise centre.

The centre will be based at the new Horizon 120 Business and Innovation Park near Great Notley.

The three-storey centre will offer shared meeting rooms, flexible workspaces, conference and training facilities, as well as offices for smaller businesses. The modern facility has been designed to be built to BREEAM Excellent standards and it will be highly energy efficient when in use.


Works are to start on site imminently and will be completed by summer 2022.

Mark Dady, managing director at Kier Regional Building Eastern, said: "We're extremely pleased to have been appointed to deliver this scheme. The sustainable design of the building highlights how we can help our clients achieve their sustainability aims, through the projects we deliver.

"Our appointment to this scheme follows the ongoing success of our Victoria Square Regeneration project which is due to complete later this year. Both projects will greatly benefit Braintree by providing new facilities and employment opportunities for the community."
