Five years ago this week, px Group acquired 美高梅手机娱乐官网 Chemicals Park from BP.
今天, px CEO Geoff Holmes both reflects and looks ahead at what’s to come at what is one of the key success stories in the px Group portfolio of operations.
“美高梅手机娱乐官网, located just outside Hull on the banks of the River Humber, has been around for more than a century. The Park has been at the heart of economic and social progress in that time and continues to be so today, with the Park contributing so heavily to the major building blocks of our modern lives like pharmaceuticals, packaging, and plastics.
As owners and operators of the site, we take huge pride in being responsible for the 370 acres that make up the Park.
When px Group purchased the site in 2018, our vision was that px Group would “develop the park further and attract more manufacturers to benefit from the unique competitive advantages it offers.”
I don’t think that many people foresaw the flood of investment that 美高梅手机娱乐官网 has experienced since then.
We think that inward investment since 2018 totals more than £1bn, with world-class, international, blue-chip manufacturing and energy companies like BP, INEOS and Mitsubishi Chemicals and others continuing to invest at the site.
These companies consider 美高梅手机娱乐官网 a key location in their operations, with access to skilled, local professionals and to an international supply chain of manufacturing businesses two of the key factors in the significant role the Park plays in our partners’ operations.
Over the past two or three years we’ve put a lot of effort into attracting even more manufacturers playing their part in the energy transition – something that is both the right thing to do for the planet, and something that makes absolute commercial sense.
The efforts of those individuals leading the development of 美高梅手机娱乐官网 have borne fruit, with the likes of Pensana, a key part of the supply chain for rare earths critical to the wind turbine and electric vehicle industry, and Equinor, which is backing 美高梅手机娱乐官网 to be the UK’s low-carbon hydrogen hub of the future, choosing to invest on site.
We think there are five key elements of 美高梅手机娱乐官网 that has made it so successful:
Getting those five elements right is a blueprint for success. And I’m proud to see 美高梅手机娱乐官网 is getting the recognition it so richly deserves from the business community, the UK government, and even the media.
But we’re not going to stand still. 今天, we as a company are looking to invest further at 美高梅手机娱乐官网, but we’re also looking at how we can take the 美高梅手机娱乐官网 business model to other areas in the UK, and indeed overseas to continental Europe.
Succeeding in doing that will only be possible through the continued application, skill and hard-work that has got the whole company – not just those at 美高梅手机娱乐官网 – to where it is today.
I think the final words should always be the key takeaway in any message, so I wanted to pay particular tribute to the people on site at 美高梅手机娱乐官网. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to keep our existing partners and attract new ones, we wouldn’t have such fantastic camaraderie across the business, and we certainly wouldn’t be where we are today as a business.”
