New hub to create employment opportunities in Little Hulton

Councillor Teresa Pepper, Lead Member for Skills and Work and Business Support at Salford City Council, said: “We are delighted that Logicor has worked with Salford City Council to develop the Bolt330 light industrial and logistics unit.

“It offers a prime space for a business that requires logistics infrastructure and that will generate fantastic employment opportunities for people in Little Hulton and the surrounding area.

“We work hard to make sure that developments benefit local people and they are able to  capitalise from the growth that is happening in their community.

“Social value opportunities have also been created during the construction phase of the building and this is set to continue when it officially opens for business. These include the entering into partnerships with local employment groups, supporting placement for college students and making college visits, and working with local charity and community groups such as St Anne’s Hospice and Community Little Hulton."

The 331,000 square foot industrial unit features 32 dock loading doors, 48 HGV parking spaces and 326 vehicle parking spaces.

Councillor Pepper continued: “The building is high quality and highly sustainable. This all fits in with our plans to be a carbon neutral city by 2038.

“The site is designed to encourage sustainable travel through the 38 cycle spaces together with shower and changing facilities. Ten per cent of the car parking spaces are for electric vehicle charging. And there is ten per cent biodiversity net gain to be realised as part of the landscaping for the site.”

Matthew Storr, Director of Project Management at Logicor said: "The Bolt330 development is a prime example of Logicor’s determined focus to make a tangible difference both environmentally and socially.
"Alongside delivering a high quality and highly sustainable building, this scheme has created jobs and training opportunities for the people of Salford that will make a lasting difference."
