A £25 MILLION project to create 1,000 new jobs at a former printworks in the Ribble Valley was unveiled today.

The Ribble Valley Business Park is a joint ventue between Pilot Properties and Enterprise plc at the former Barrow printworks near Clitheroe.

It is hoped to attract technology-based companies to the 40-acre site, which will have a state-of-the-art technology management centre at the hub.

The first phase of the scheme will concentrate on an 11-acre spot at the centre of the park, including the management centre.
