Laing O'Rourke bags £4.65m grant for new precast concrete plant

Laing O'Rourke has won a £4.65m grant from the East Midlands Development Agency towards land remediation costs at the firm's planned new precast manufacturing plant at Steetley on the north Notts/Derbyshire border.

Clean-up work on contaminated land has been ongoing for the last 18 months at the site of the former Baker Refractory Works.

The next stage will see the adjacent former Steetley Colliery site sold to O'Rourke.
