Employment

Creating jobs the region needs with all the skills that business wants

Parkide will create many hundreds of good jobs in two stages. First, the right specialists and tradespeople will be needed for construction. Then, as buildings are let, occupiers will recruit to run their operations.

Parkside LLP will work alongside new occupiers to help them find and recruit the right people locally and from the wider area of Liverpool and Manchester, ensuring the scheme becomes a sustainable employment site over the long term.

A strong track record in logistics and advanced manufacturing

Liverpool and Manchester are national leaders in logistics and advanced manufacturing, underpinned by major global companies, cutting-edge research, and world-class infrastructure.

Liverpool hosts INOVYN Europe, Sony, and Collabco, and has invested over £1 billion in intermodal logistics, including a deep-water container terminal.

Manchester is home to firms like Iceland Manufacturing, UrbanChain, and Holiferm, and is a global epicentre for graphene innovation, driven by the University of Manchester’s NGI and GEIC. Both cities boast major airports and ports, a skilled workforce, and integrated infrastructure that supports seamless global trade and advanced industrial growth.

World-class
Universities

Universities in both Manchester and Liverpool offer degree courses for technical and engineering subjects characterised by a commitment to innovation and industry relevance.

These programs not only equip students with cutting-edge skills but also foster strong industry connections, ensuring graduates are well-prepared to meet the evolving demands of the engineering sector.

In both cities, the needs of modern logistics operations are also served by the universities. The University of Salford offers a highly regarded degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and In Liverpool, students can pursue Operations and Supply Chain Management, a course designed to address the complexities of global supply chains.

Parkside could easily create up to 1,500 skilled full-time jobs

Job creation
At Parkside

Once work begins at Parkside, the construction process will generate a huge number of jobs and the contractors responsible will be advertising these widely. This will create jobs for a diverse range of trades and local businesses.

The occupiers of the buildings will also be recruiting. There will be a huge range of jobs on offer, from HGV and forklift drivers to accountants, clerical staff, managers, cleaners and more.

In fact, the employment density for these buildings ranges from one person per 1,000 sq ft to one person per 2,000 sq ft, depending on the specific operations and level of automation. So, the development at Parkside could easily create around 1,500 full time jobs, many of them highly skilled.

We will be working with partners to support the occupiers in finding the right people to help them compete in their respective markets.
