AROUND 2,000 new jobs could be created at Omega after a logistics firm agreed a deal to build four new units on the land.

Mountpark Logistics has agreed to build the units, totalling 757,555 sq ft, on the business park.

Three units would be built by November and work would then start on the fourth.

No names have been confirmed yet as to who could take the buildings, which are located in the western part of Omega south. Marketing will now begin to find occupiers to move in.

Work will also take place to build a new access road off Skyline Drive.

David Milloy, joint managing director of Miller Developments and OWL: “This announcement marks the second speculative deal done at Omega.

"It demonstrates that major UK and overseas investors have confidence in the local market and the attraction of Omega to businesses.

"We look forward to welcoming further occupiers to Omega South and promoting more jobs to people.”

Tom Kilmister, from Mountpark Logistics, added: “We are very excited to be working with OWL on the next phase of development at Omega South.

"The park has a fantastic reputation as the premier distribution location in the north west, given its excellent connectivity to the national motorway network and accessibility to the regional population.

"There is currently a distinct shortage of available, good quality industrial and logistics accommodation in Warrington and the north west, providing limited opportunity for businesses looking to expand in to the area or relocate; Mountpark Warrington will provide much needed state-of-the-art accommodation for occupiers seeking quality workspace.”

New occupiers would join Asda, The Hut Group, Plastic Omnium, Domino’s and Amazon on Omega South, neighbours to Brakes, Hermes, Travis Perkins and Haydock Commercial on Omega North.
