Up to 75 new jobs in Cornwall’s advanced manufacturing and engineering sectors could be created over the next five years at the newly-opened Enterprise Space for Advanced Manufacturing (ESAM).
The £8.9m flagship development, led by Cornwall Council, will encourage the establishment and growth of advanced manufacturing and engineering businesses.
Built on redundant china clay land near St Austell, the two storey building contains 32 business units tailored to suit the needs of both start-up businesses and established firms.
The team behind the project is now calling on businesses who believe they would benefit from the type of productive and collaborative modern workspace that ESAM will provide to come forward.
The project was funded by a £6.2m European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) investment, with £2.7m funding from Cornwall Council.
The new development will form part of the proposed West Carclaze Garden Village.
