Renewable energy firm invests £700,000 in Telford industrial estate
A company that produces energy from commercial food waste and purpose grown crops has invested around £700,000 in Telford.
Swancote Energy has spent the money on two new steel framed buildings industrial units at Hortonwood 7.
Some 635 sq-m of warehouse storage and office space has been completed at the site by Shropshire building contractor, Morris Property.
The units are clad and roofed using composite cladding panels and include both pedestrian and roller shutter doors for easy access together with glazed areas to enhance the working environment.
Externally there is a car park and delivery yard, landscaping and new drainage.
Swancote Energy, which produces renewable energy from a combination of commercial food waste and purpose grown energy crops, commissioned Morris Property to build the unit due to an increase in demand for its services.
The Morris Property team say they are working on a growing number of commercial, residential and education sites in Telford, employing a range of sub-contractors and trades from the local area.
Steve Flavell, construction manager, said: “We feel privileged to be working in Telford and securing ongoing contracts with both the public and private sector.
"We wish Swancote Energy all the best in their new premises.”
Morris Property is part of a fifth-generation family business group which has been building, restoring and leasing property for over 150 years.
