A company owned by the billionaire Issa brothers has acquired a planned industrial estate in Burnley that could support 900 jobs.
Monte Blackburn, whose two directors are Mohsin and Zubar Issa, has acquired the Burnley Bridge South site from Eshton Group for an undisclosed sum.
The deal comes after the Yorkshire-based property developer’s successful planning application for the 32-acre brownfield site, with Burnley Borough Council approving construction of a further 500,000 sq ft of industrial and warehousing space.
