A global supplier of educational resources is to create its new headquarters in Hucknall, it has emerged.
The new 195,644 sq ft building in Harrier Park will act as RM Resources national HQ from April next year.
The firm is a leading supplier of technology and resources to the education sector, supporting schools, teachers and pupils across the globe including examination boards, central governments and other professional institutions.
Monique Louis, managing director at RM Resources, said: "We are excited to be taking ownership of our new home which will see us consolidate multiple distribution centres into a solo, modernised and automated site. At the same time, the new location will enable us to bring together our office and operational teams into a single HQ that meets our longer-term business needs and objectives."
The 70-acre, Harrier Park, is part of a long-term joint venture between Rolls-Royce and urban regeneration specialist, Muse Developments, that will bring nearly one million sq ft of employment space, alongside hundreds of new homes and community facilities built on surplus land alongside the Rolls-Royce Aerospace supply chain plant off Watnall Road.
Dan Needham, development director at Muse Developments, said: “We’re delighted to hand over the keys to one of our latest distribution hubs to RM Resources, and we hope they’re happy in their new home.
“We’ve been working hard with partners behind the scenes to deliver this and our residential schemes at Harrier Park safely and in line with government guidelines.
"What we’re looking at achieving here is to drive economic growth and prosperity, while creating job opportunities to benefit the Hucknall community and in light of the unprecedented situation we’re all in, this will be a welcome addition to benefit the town.”
