Dorset structural engineering firm REIDsteel has secured full planning permission for a multi-million pound redevelopment of its base in Christchurch.
The firm has been given approval from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council to build a new, larger facility at its site on Reid Street, that would bring more of its manufacturing processes under one roof.
The company, which designs and builds steel framed structures including aircraft hangars, bridges and sports stadia, said the new 6.4-acre complex, including a single, automated production line and new offices and staff facilities, would allow it to “significantly increase” productivity and create more highly-skilled jobs and apprenticeships.
