Main contractor A&H Construction will start on site in March building five industrial units on the 14 acre development.

Specialist McCoy Contractors Limited is carrying out groundworks at The Ridge scheme.

Bob Tattrie, Managing Partner of Trebor Developments, said: “We are delighted to commence on site.

“The Ridge” is a very significant investment in the Eastern area, which we believe will attract a wide range of local occupiers to this premier location, which already hosts Culina Logistics and MKM Building Supplies.

“The units will be the only quality new build industrial of their sizes within a 50 mile radius of Haverhill and offered at a considerable discount to rents in the Cambridge market.”

Units will be available for occupation from Q3, 2020.
