News: Henry Boot starts work on £6m Rotherham development

Henry Boot Construction has started work on a £6 million retail complex at Parkgate, Rotherham. The scheme will be the focal point of the Northfields Retail & Business Park, which is also being developed by Henry Boot. DIY giant, B&Q has taken 4,700 sq m at the heart of the development and is expected be open for trade in Summer 2009. Henry Boot Construction managing director Mick Mosley told CNPlus: "As a locally based contractor, this provides us with the opportunity to work on another major project for a well established client which will create new jobs and training opportunities, as well as continuing to provide employment for our own workforce and subcontractors, all of which will provide benefits for the local economy." Last month Henry Boot secured planning permission for 9,000 sq m of retail warehousing and 5,000 sq m of employment space on the Northfields site which is adjacent to the established Parkgate Shopping.
