Umbrella company contractors who work in the construction sector may be pleased to learn that new opportunities will shortly be available at Center Parcs’ new site at Woburn Forest.
The construction phase of the Woburn Forest development will create around 1,200 jobs and freelancers in the Bedford area should be able to take advantage of some of the available opportunities.
Funding was recently agreed for the new site, which will be situated near Millbrook, and construction of the facilities is now able to commence. The project is scheduled for completion by Spring 2014, so over the next couple of years, there could be some lucrative contracts on offer.
Martin Dalby, the chief executive of Center Parcs, said he was delighted that the project was now moving ahead. The company is very grateful to Central Bedfordshire Council for all of its support and Center Parcs will be hosting a meeting shortly to keep the local community up-to-date with the construction timetable.
The Center Parcs development will include 625 forest lodges, a retail centre, a swimming pool and other related buildings.
Contractors in the construction industry have been having a hard time recently as turbulent economic conditions have wreaked havoc on the industry. A lot of building projects have been put on ice or abandoned completely over the last couple of years, so this news from Center Parcs should bring fresh hope to the beleaguered construction community, and particularly to contractors in and around Bedfordshire.
