Portsmouth City Council has appointed BAM Construction to further develop Dunsbury Business Park.

BAM Construction and BAM Design have been selected to create the fifth unit at the 45-acre business Park which was formerly farm land. BAM Design is also the masterplan architect for the business park.

Unit five will be a 10,000m2 industrial warehouse and 750m2 office which is being taken by Bio Pure Technologies Ltd, part of the high-end industrial /pharmaceutical pipework specialist Watson-Marlow. The company's products are highly valued by customers in the biopharmaceutical sector, a sector which has been at the forefront of news during the global pandemic.

The building will be ready for production in 2022 when it will create around 120 new manufacturing and engineering jobs.

Around £12.5 million works follow the creation of three other units by BAM that are now occupied by 3M Fat Face, VW, and DPD UK. The new facility is the largest of the plots to be developed so far.

The development of the business park began in 2016. The Portsmouth City Council-owned business park is expected to generate millions of pounds of rental income for the authority.
