The project could spawn 150 jobs, 136 of them local, and pump £13.6 million annually into the Hinckley and Bosworth economy. Strategically positioned in the “Logistics Golden Triangle” near the M1, M69, and M42, it’s poised to handle 100 daily car trips and 8 HGVs during peak hours. Still pending council approval, this could reshape the region’s industrial landscape. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
