Local business grant aids haulier’s growth plans

Mallinson Properties secured the grant and will now use it to build two extensions to its sister firm’s premises.

The project will increase the company’s pallet storage capacity and create new job opportunities.

It added that it would also create social value by supporting local supply chains and environmental sustainability.

The Goldthorpe Towns Commercial Investment Fund is part of a programme of projects funded by the government as part of a £23.1m investment in Goldthorpe, Thurnscoe and Bolton upon Dearne.

Stephen Mallinson, MD of Mallinson Properties, said: “We are delighted with this grant from the Goldthorpe Towns Commercial Investment Fund. It is enabling us to expand our business and meet the growing demand for our products and services.

“This project will not only benefit our company, but also the local economy and community.

“We are proud to be part of the Dearne Valley area and eager to enhance its potential and ambition.”

Matthew Stephens, chair of the Goldthorpe Town Deal Board, said: “I am delighted that we have been able to support Mallinson Properties on this project.

“We are focused on supporting the local economy and social value, so I am also pleased that they are using the local supply chain to deliver the project.

“I hope this is a catalyst for their business and facilitates the growth we need.”
