Ni.PARK is a key element in the Newport Innovation and Enterprise Package which delivered the supporting infrastructure package funded jointly funded by Telford & Wrekin Council, the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership and Homes England.

The first phase of development delivered a range of smaller industrial units funded by Telford and Wrekin Council.

Councillor Lee Carter (Lab), Telford & Wrekin Council's Cabinet Member for Neghbourhood Services, Regeneration and the High Street, said: "Ni.PARK is a growing community for agri-tech businesses, as well as those supporting the agriculture sector with their products and services and the take-up of units has been excellent.

"Ni.PARK is an extremely well regarded site which is attracting high profile businesses from across the region and around the world who see it as a place to maximise their potential in a prime location.

"We are looking forward to seeing Phase 2 get underway and further new larger units being built which strengthen the site’s reputation as an agri-tech business centre of excellence."
