The development is anticipated to generate in the region of 50 jobs. The building will provide engineering and motor vehicle students with up-to-date and modern facilities to learn their trade.

The Eversheds team was led by Eversheds partner Simon Chamberlain assisted by senior associate Nicola Fairbairn, associate Joanne Hawkins and solicitor Jenny Morris.
Simon commented:
“This centre is a pivotal development for the local area. We are extremely pleased to have advised on the land acquisition and supporting contracts. We look forward to advising the college on future matters.”
