Retail giants JD Sports are planning a massive expansion in Bury which would create 400 new jobs. The firm, who already occupy three buildings at their headquarters site at Hollins Brook Way, Pilsworth want to build a childcare centre and office campus facilities on vacant land next to their current offices.
The land for the proposed new headquarters is known as the former A-Plant site and the new campus headquarters would include an indoor gym and outdoor running track and sports pitch ‘to support the health and wellbeing JD team members’.
A planning statement from JD published by Bury Council, said: “JD is promoting a flagship development that would regenerate the vacant former A-Plant site to provide contemporary childcare facilities in a bespoke building, and a hub building containing offices to accommodate business growth and a range of supporting functions to serve the needs of the whole campus.
