Jobs
Supporting the local economy
The proposals would help to support business growth, attract investment in the local area and provide a range of new jobs. They will also provide business rates revenue, which can provide funding towards important local services such as education, social care and community facilities.
Opportunities for local people
Catering to a range of experience levels
The proposals could support a wide range of job opportunities during construction and once the site is occupied.
The plans will deliver more than 250 full-time equivalent jobs through construction and around 550 jobs once the site is operational.
The proposals will cater to a range of backgrounds and experience levels, with potential roles including:
- Warehouse and logistics staff, helping receive, manage and dispatch goods.
- Manufacturing and light industrial roles, depending on future occupiers.
- Engineering and technical roles, supporting equipment, systems and site operations.
- Office-based roles, including administration, customer service and operations support.
- Supervisory and management roles, overseeing day-to-day activity.
- Driving, servicing and maintenance roles linked to the operation of the site.
Logistics
Why logistics matters
Logistics is about more than moving goods. It plays an important role in everyday life, helping ensure that supermarket shelves are stocked, online orders reach people’s homes, and businesses receive the supplies they need to operate.
It is also a vital part of the UK’s infrastructure, supporting essential services such as hospitals, schools and defence facilities.
Well-located industrial and logistics space is therefore essential to support businesses, strengthen supply chains and keep the economy moving.
At Longbridge, the proposals would help provide modern business space in a location close to the M40, A46 and A429, supporting businesses while creating new jobs and local opportunities.
