Markham Vale

Daher Aerospace Ltd, an aircraft manufacturer and industry and service equipment supplier, is the latest business to take a unit at Markham Vale – a flagship regeneration site in North Derbyshire – creating 23 new jobs.

The company has been awarded a new contract to provide logistic services from its new base for Alstom in Derby which is currently building new monorail lines destined for Cairo.

Councillor Tony King, cabinet member for clean growth and regeneration, said: “We are extremely delighted to welcome Daher Aerospace to our family of businesses at Markham Vale, creating new jobs for the area. After a very challenging year for businesses this announcement sends a strong signal to other investors that Derbyshire is a place that helps businesses to survive and thrive.”

The business has moved into MV55 – a pre-built 55,000ft² industrial warehouse at the site located at Junction 29A of the M1 in Derbyshire.

Daher Aerospace’s Michael Betteridge said: “Following our success in being awarded a new logistics contract, the attractiveness of Markham Vale both in terms of location and building fitted perfectly with our requirements.”

Richard Hinds, Development Surveyor at Henry Boot Developments, said: “Markham Vale proved an ideal location for Daher Aerospace, with brand new industrial space close to key motorway networks and a strong local skills base.”
