The new leader of East Riding Council has endorsed a green business building under construction at a special ‘steel signing’ ceremony on site at Grovehill Road. Councillor Jonathan Owen welcomed the job creation potential of the Beverley Enterprise Centre. The first two stories are well advanced and the project is on track to be completed early next year. The £4.8 million development will provide serviced accommodation for 30 small businesses with office and workshop units. Officials told Beverley FM that it’s hoped the building will stimulate further development to benefit the local economy into the future. More background on the building here.
