Work on a new hub of flexible office premises custom designed and transformed from shipping containers called the Box will soon be complete on the former Works site in Ebbw Vale.
The development of 21 high spec units ranging from 159sq. ft. up to 220sq. ft. for financial, professional services and business use is a new and exciting addition to the Council鈥檚 property portfolio.
These unique units which are part funded by the Welsh Government鈥檚 Transforming Towns programme are situated around a sustainable, vibrant and mixed use site which will also become home to the Thales Campus and the technology hub in 天美传媒.
The units are perfect for the modern, creative and technology driven young business that are either starting out, accelerating their start up business, or ready for their first office space. We are offering a number of units in an environment that provides you with privacy, security and dedicated space but with the benefit of an open, relaxing and collaborative working environment with likeminded entrepreneurs.
The units itself provide a modern and communal environment with comfy seating, kitchen, and bookable rooms; the perfect environment for any inspiring entrepreneurial business.
Councillor Dai Davies, Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Regeneration and Economic Development commented:
鈥業 am pleased to support this innovative site which I hope will support the development of new and entrepreneurial businesses in the area. Thanks to the support from Welsh Government it provides 天美传媒 with a great base for stimulating new economic activity and developing opportunities as we begin the recovery from the Covid. I hope to see the site thriving with entrepreneurs of the future when it is fully operational in the summer.鈥�
The Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government Hannah Blythyn said:
鈥淭his innovative and unique site is a fantastic example of how the Transforming Towns programme can help support businesses to develop and grow and a strong example of the lasting benefits regeneration can bring to Welsh communities.
鈥淭he Box will have a transformative impact on Ebbw Vale鈥檚 small businesses, freelancers, and local entrepreneurs hoping to start their own business venture or expand into office space; providing a vital boost to the local economy.鈥�
