Lincolnshire County Council’s sale of 10.28 acres of land at Kirton Distribution Park paves the way for Dhoot Transmission UK, known locally as Parkinson Harness Technology, to build a new factory making specialist vehicle parts.
Planning permission for the development, which could create 80 jobs, was granted last year.
David Earnshaw, MD at Parkinson Harness Technology, said: “The facility will enable the company to further develop our position as a leading supplier of High Voltage leads for the UK specialist vehicle market alongside our long standing Low Voltage product.
“When your bins are emptied, it is in part, with product made here in Lincolnshire. We’d like to thank both Lincolnshire County Council and Boston Borough Council for their critical help in putting this project together.”
Cllr Colin Davie, executive councillor for economy and place at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “This new factory will be a fantastic addition to the 27-acre Kirton Distribution Park, and Parkinson Harness Technologies will be joining other high profile businesses on the site such as Duckworth Jaguar Land Rover and Sportsbikeshop.
“All of the land here has now been allocated, and Kirton is another example of how the council is providing the investment to encourage businesses to start-up, re-locate and grow, in our county.”
