A £4 MILLION investment in an Aberdeenshire business park has been announced.
The ANM Group, one of Scotland’s largest producer-owned farming, food and finance businesses, has said it is committed to investing the money in the development of the infrastructure within the planned extension of Thainstone Business Park.
The extension plans will see the existing Thainstone Mart and business park enhanced with the addition of new office buildings and parking while creating an estimated 500 jobs – with a number of these jobs created locally – as ANM Group has pledged to hire local suppliers for the development of the business park.
Pat Machray, ANM group chairman, said: "The proposed expansion of Thainstone Business Park has been in our plans for a number of years and is the next natural step for the site.
"We have been a major employer and contributor to the North-east economy for more than 140 years, and as a farmer-owned co-operative, we continually strive to improve the business to provide the best service for our 5000 members and 20,000 customers. This £4 million investment further demonstrates our commitment to Thainstone, which has and always will be a key hub for the North-east agricultural community."
