Go past it at work and they are really moving on with it. It's been stopped and started a few times I think. I think it's more like the end of next before it's fully running. Not that big but a startmaybe 20 or so jobs there.

Yes 20 jobs at the moment plus 30 more for px Group. Plus more if they build the next 3 lines.
Nice to see things going up at Wilton instead of coming down.

Maybe it will work. I won't believe it until I see a photo-op with Ben T. in the Gazette.

Great month for the British manufacturing sector:

Smith+Nephew announced plans to build a new £80 million production and R&D facility in Melton, near Hull.

At the same time announcing the closure of the factory in Hull, you win some....

Kelham Island Brewery in Sheffield has been saved from closure which means that supplies of Pale Rider will continue

That's one hell of an investment.
Any idea exactly where it will be located/ number of jobs created?

Located at the old Air Products EfW plant on Huntsman Drive at Seal Sands that was mothballed 6 years ago.
They've already started recruiting, not sure on final numbers.
