Jobs & economy
- Around 3,000 direct full time equivalent (FTE) jobs could be created at Gateway 14 (based on the expected total floorspace of the buildings on the site)
- A further 1,500 ‘indirect’ jobs could be created elsewhere as a result of the development (i.e. jobs supported by the new jobs generated on the site, such as local services and shops)
- There could be more than created over the course of the construction period (our estimation based on similar developments)
- We’re looking at ways we can encourage the people who will work at Gateway 14 to use local businesses, to support the economy of the town
Part of the community
It’s really important that Gateway 14 is part of the local community. That’s why Workman LLP, the company that is responsible for park management at Gateway 14, is drawing up guidance to show how future occupiers (i.e. companies that will be located at Gateway 14) can support local people, charities and businesses, such as encouraging their staff to use local companies or by taking part in local volunteering projects.
Managing the construction
As Gateway 14 continues to be built, it’s important that we are a considerate neighbour and that we protect the amenity of neighbours. Through our Construction Management Plan we have agreed things like construction phasing, health and safety procedures and working hours with the Council.
If you have any questions during the construction of the Gateway 14, please get in touch.
