The £10million scheme will see the build of a new single-storey facility and basement space for a UK leading multi-sector manufacturer based in the East Midlands.

The new building will be cladded and feature composite insulation panels to the walls and roof and adjacent will be an external service yard with two artic loading bays and car parking spaces over three levels for 139 cars. Previously allocated as Employment Land, the steel frame of the build is now complete. Works are progressing with brickwork, roofing and wall cladding, which will be followed by the construction of ground bearing and suspended floor slabs, and the installation of fire protection and first fix M&E services.

Andy Sewards, managing director of G F Tomlinson, said: "Mansfield continues to attract major players in the industrial and manufacturing sector and we are pleased to be working with a new client on a scheme of such scale.

"This facility will provide sizable and contemporary manufacturing and office space and the new building has been designed for the future expansion of our client’s production capabilities.

"We are proud to be working with Jackson Design Associates and Webb Gray Architects again to deliver this impressive scheme."
