Landscaping products supplier Talasey Ltd is acquiring a 15-acre site from North Lincolnshire Council on which to build a new warehouse and storage facility in Scunthorpe, creating 130 new jobs, on top of the 100 people already employed.
Founder and CEO Mark Wall said: “Having celebrated our 20th anniversary earlier this year, we are excited to be taking this next step in our journey creating a new warehouse and distribution centre on Normanby Enterprise Park in Scunthorpe.
“Talasey moved to Scunthorpe in 2022, from where we supply landscaping solutions including paving, composite decking and fencing products, into the UK builders merchant sector. This additional operating space will allow us to move forward with the next phase of our growth strategy, creating new jobs and opportunities for the area.
“We thank North Lincolnshire Council for their support and look forward to working with the team on this acquisition.”
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “It’s fantastic to see companies like Talasey going from strength to strength here in North Lincolnshire, investing millions of pounds in the area and creating even more new job opportunities for residents on their doorstep.
“More businesses are choosing North Lincolnshire, with its can-do attitude and excellent transport links, as the ideal location to expand their operations. We look forward to working with Talasey to support their continued growth plans.”
Talasey’s state-of-the-art head office facility on Normanby Road now accommodates its training academy, which offers a range of interactive courses for everyone from landscape architects to college students and homeowners.
