Gateway14, advised by its development partner Jaynic, has appointed Wilten Construction to build the Skills & Innovation centre at the Gateway 14 development.
Work is imminent on the £18 million three-storey centre on the scheme near J50 of the A14, that will be owned by Mid-Suffolk District Council.
In partnership with West Suffolk College and the universities of Suffolk and Essex, the centre aims to address the skills gaps locally and within the local Freeport East area, and to seize opportunities around growing sectors such as the green economy and digital/AI technology.
Joe Clarke, senior commercial manager for Jaynic, said: “We are pleased to have Wilten Construction on board as contractor for the Skills & Innovation Centre.
“We have been impressed with Wilten’s performance on Bauder’s new distribution centre at G14 and look forward to working with their team on this exciting project”
Naim Basha, director at Wilten Construction, said: “Wilten is delighted to have been appointed for the second time by Jaynic for the Design and Build contract for the Skills and Innovation Centre at Gateway 14, delivering on our Wilten promise and generating a repeat business relationship.
“Having recently completed Pioneer Park at Leicester, Wilten will add great value to this scheme, and we look forward to undertaking this prestigious project that will have a positive impact on both the local economy and the community.”
