Pygott & Crone have been appointed as the commercial agent for The Hub building at the South Lincolnshire Food Enterprise Zone, meaning that businesses will soon be able to express an interest in office and workshop space.
Cllr Colin Davie, executive councillor for economy and place at the county council, said “Pygott & Crone have a great understanding of the ethos of the FEZ and what it will bring to Lincolnshire and our residents.
“The Hub building will be a great centre for smaller businesses to collaborate and benefit from brand new facilities, research and training opportunities.”
Sarah Louise Fairburn, Deputy Chair of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership and Chair of the LEP’s Food Board, said: “The Hub is an exciting development at the FEZ that will provide the connections and support for SME businesses in the agri-food tech sector to grow, innovate and collaborate.
“The LEP is pleased to have provided the £6.3m to enable construction of this extremely important building for knowledge transfer and business support within the UK food Valley.”
Pygott & Crone Director Tim Downing said: “Our commercial team is really looking forward to marketing this innovative development which offers much needed space for food related business in the region.
“The hub will enable business in the food sector to collaborate with other like minded companies across the whole enterprise zone and will help cement Lincolnshire’s reputation as the centre of the UK food valley.”
