Thirty jobs created at £3m business park

Work has commenced on The Brickworks Business Park, comprising up to nine sites and existing buildings, with an asking price of £2.9m, available to buy across 20 acres of the former Tyrone brick factory site on the Cookstown Road.

The investment is being made by local company Maximus Crushing & Screening Ltd, with leading commercial property agents Lisney and Maneely & Co instructed to sell the sites.

Thirty new temporary jobs have been created.

James Maneely of Clarman Architects is working with the owners on the design of the new business park, which is expected to be operational by the end of the year, with sites available to purchase now.

Shane O’Neill of Maximus Crushing & Screening Ltd said: “This announcement is a hugely positive news story of inward investment and job creation for Dungannon. We are building a brand new business park from scratch in an area in which there is a severe shortage of quality industrial land.

“With potentially nine sites over a 20-acre area, this is set to become a landmark site which will appeal to the wide range of prominent manufacturing and engineering firms, and their suppliers.”

The Cookstown Road site was purchased by Maximus Crushing & Screening Ltd at the start of the year. The firm will continue running its manufacturing operation on the other 50 acres of the site.
