£30 million Automated Distribution and Manufacturing Centre moves closer
30th July 2024.
This week, Ashfield District Council’s Planning Committee will consider plans to approve a world-class distribution and manufacturing skills centre in Ashfield.
The Automated Distribution and Manufacturing Centre (ADMC) is the Council’s flagship project from their £62.6 million Towns Deal and is set to cement the District as the heart of innovation and technology within the East Midlands.
The plans for the ADMC, which – if approved – will sit on Lowmoor Road, Kirkby, have ambitions to ignite the adoption of automation and advanced manufacturing in business across the region. This will drive productivity and bring more high skilled jobs to Ashfield. The centre will work with businesses on how technology can help them, enable them to test how things could work within their own business and train their staff on how to use and maintain automated systems.
Previous updates:
It is anticipated that the ADMC will form the centrepiece of a new innovation and business park themed on automated distribution and manufacturing. Full details of the park and the opportunities this will provide to local, national, and international businesses will be provided shortly.
Further progress updates on the ADMC and the associated innovation park will be provided here in due course. Please contact us should you want to register interest in opportunities provided by the Centre and the associated Innovation Park.
