Northern Energy begins work on new Harrogate district headquarters
Northern Energy has started construction on new headquarters in the Harrogate district.
The company is currently based in Hampsthwaite, where it has operated for more than half a century.
The firm distributes domestic, commercial and agricultural oil and liquified petroleum gas across the north of England.
However, Northern Energy is set to relocate operations to Limebar Lane, one kilometre from the village of Marton-cum-Grafton and next to the A168.
The plans include 10,000 square feet of office space, a vehicle depot, liquified petroleum gas and oil storage tanks and a new car park.
James Illingworth, director of sales at Northern Energy, told the Stray Ferret:
The move to build the new base comes after Harrogate Borough Council gave planning permission for the site in February 2021.
The company said the new headquarters will provide better access to the motorway and reduce journey times for distribution.
Work being carried out on the new Northern Energy site.
Construction at the site is being carried out by Harrogate company HACS and is being built in two phases.
The first phase, which includes the gas storage site, is expected to be complete by March 2024.
