Jobs and Skills

The site is located in the Golden Triangle where there is significant demand for employment development. A logistics park as part of the Garden Village would fulfil the need for employment development in the area as well as providing significant job opportunities.

Logistics provides employment across a broad spectrum of roles including managerial, engineering, professional and technical roles, IT, HR, Sales, Marketing as well as warehouse operatives and opportunities for drivers. Automation in logistics has specifically created demand for engineering roles to maintain the automation processes.

Links will be forged with local schools and colleges to connect young people to job opportunities in the Garden Village.

The economic diversity of the Garden Village will be reinforced by neighbourhood hubs and a village centre that accommodates both small and larger enterprises within a pedestrian and cycle friendly environment.

Homes will be designed to accommodate the growing move towards home working.

Neighbourhood Hubs will provide shared spaces and facilities to allow residents to work effectively whilst avoiding isolation and maximising social interactions.

As we move towards much more homeworking reliable high-speed broadband will be an essential component of the Garden Village.
