Cheshire East Council leaders have visited Cheshire Green Industrial Park near Nantwich to highlight investment, job creation and business growth at the employment site.
The visit formed part of the council's Made in Cheshire East campaign, which showcases organisations contributing to the borough's economy. Council leaders met representatives from the industrial park and tenant business Unette.
Former RAF airfield transformed into employment site
Cheshire Green Industrial Park occupies the former RAF Calveley Airfield. The brownfield site has been developed for industrial, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics businesses, with transport links across the North West and North Wales.
According to Cheshire East Council, the park could provide up to 1.35 million square feet of employment space when complete and has already contributed to the creation of around 300 jobs.
Councillor Nick Mannion, leader of Cheshire East Council, said: “Cheshire Green Industrial Park is a fantastic example of how investment in high-quality employment sites can help drive economic growth and create opportunities for local people and businesses.”
Manufacturing business continues expansion
During the visit, council leaders toured Unette, a family-owned advanced manufacturing company based at the park. The business has more than 50 years of experience in liquid filling, contract packaging and sustainable packaging solutions.
The company designs specialist manufacturing equipment and packaging formats and says it continues to invest in its Nantwich headquarters and skilled roles in engineering, manufacturing and product development.
David Rimmer, vice chairman of Unette Group, said: “We were delighted to welcome council leaders to Unette and showcase the innovation, engineering expertise and sustainability initiatives that underpin our business. Being based at Cheshire Green Industrial Park has provided us with an excellent platform for growth, and we are proud to continue investing in our people, facilities and the local economy.”
