Laura Sandys MP Welcomes Exciting New Start for Pfizer Site
This afternoon Pfizer have announced the sale of the Discovery Park in Sandwich to a specially created company named 'Discovery Park Limited'. The new owners have a huge amount of experience in building outstanding business parks and will be able to attract world class businesses to the fantastic facilities in Sandwich.
Laura Sandys, MP for South Thanet and Sandwich, said: "I am thrilled that Pfizer have sold the site at Sandwich. After hearing that the new owners have already had a number of enquiries from companies looking to move to Sandwich, I am very confident that many new jobs will be created. This is very exciting for the local community and should see the start of further investment into the area. Sandwich is a great place to do business and I am sure this will be a huge success."
**************************
That sounds very positive from Laura there. The purchasing company is brand spanking new.. but it appears the owners have experience in the field, but fingers crossed it hopefully will supply the jobs as mentioned. Obviously we could always use more jobs in the area, particularly more quality jobs, so thumbsup all round and hoping the optimism is fulfilled.
