It comes as lots of interest has been expressed in the new business hub site, which has transformed vacant land.

Demolition work started in November last year as disused industrial buildings were knocked down at the former industrial site on Newcombe Road in Lowestoft, which had been vacant for around three years.

With construction starting on the creation of a state-of-the-art business hub - that is hoped will drive economic growth in the town - at the end of January, it has seen 16 purpose-built contemporary business units of varying sizes progressed.

The development is set to provide modern premises for local companies and attract businesses to Lowestoft, with the units - ranging between 35sq m and 225sq m - created as part of the town's PowerPark.
