A Liverpool firm has announced plans for the creation of 300 new jobs in the region.
Middle England Developments & Penlake Ltd are a leading developer and manager of student accommodation, with a success rate of 100% occupancy.
Established as a student accommodation manager over 10 years ago, Penlake has a history of successfully developing and managing student accommodation.
The firm is based in Beacon Building on London Road in Liverpool City Centre and by March this year it will see an extra 300 joiners, brick layers, electricians, laborers and several other building professions start work on several large scale projects across the city.
Middle England Developments began redeveloping historic buildings into student properties in Liverpool around three years ago.
The new projects to be developed and included in the job creation are the old Fire Station on Hatton Garden, Candia Tower and Crete Tower - a pair of apartment blocks in Everton as well as St Andrews Place on Rodney Street.
The Hatton Garden project will see 93 student properties created as well as a manager's office opposite the main building entrance, a gym, retail space housing a convenience food store, a hairdresser/salon, and a coffee shop.
On agreeing the Hatton Garden development last year the council stated “This type of housing proposed meets an identified need and is in keeping with nearby developments.
This innovative development proposal will make efficient and sensitive reuse of a fine, Grade II-listed building and therefore make a valuable contribution to this part of the city centre."
Managing Director Nigel Russell said: “At a time when significant job cuts are being made in industry as a result of the economic downturn, I am delighted that Middle England Developments / Penlake Ltd are able to create employment opportunities due to its expansion.
"There are vast opportunities open to us within our sector and we look forward to recruiting new members of staff to our business.”
