A multi-million pound project to turn an existing recycling depot in Dagenham into a hub for local business has been delivered by Faircloth Construction.

The development which received a BREEAM rating of Excellent, involved building 21 units to form a mixture of industrial and modern offices for leading enterprise development specialists GLE Property Developments Ltd.

The Dagenham Enterprise Centre project – designed by architects GC Partnership – was built on 34,500 sq ft of land owned by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council. The development is part of a local government strategy to give small and medium-sized businesses more affordable space to grow without having to move out of the borough.
