Plan to bring up to 40 jobs to former Argos & Sainsbury's warehouse site in Bamber Bridge
The site is close to the M65 motorway, A582 and the A6.
A new industrial park could open on the outskirts of Bamber Bridge, if new plans are passed.
KFI (UK) Ltd, which manufactures fire protection products, is seeking permission to change the use of a storage and distribution site in Amethyst Court, Aptus Business Park (off South Rings), into Class B2 general industrial, with associated items including a new roller shutter, fire supressant storage tank and nitrogen storage tank.
The site is currently vacant, however previously operated as a storage and distribution facility for Sainsbury’s and Argos. It comprises a 3,949 sqm warehouse unit with a staff car car park providing 45 standard parking spaces, including two electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces and two disabled parking bays, as well as dedicated cycle parking facilities.
When operational, the site would employ approximately 30 staff at any one time, which is estimated to increase to around 40 over a five-year period. Under normal operating conditions, staff would work in two shifts: 6am to 2pm and 2pm to 10pm, Monday to Friday. There may also be occasional weekend shifts during periods of high demand.
A decision will be made in coming weeks by South Ribble Borough Council.
