New £5 million B&M store at Catterick creating 30 jobs given green light

A new £5 million B&M store has been given the green light by councillors in Richmond.

The scheme, by Yorkshire developers S Harrison Developments Ltd., will see a 25,000 sq ft new store on Gough Road, adjacent to Catterick Leisure centre and the Tesco Extra store at Richmondshire Walk.

Construction work on the new unit will begin this Spring with plans for B&M to open for business in Autumn 2015.

Around 25 jobs will be created during the construction phase with an additional 30 permanent jobs when the store opens.

S Harrison Developments Ltd director David Clancy said: “The addition of new budget retail store opposite the entrance to the popular leisure centre is a natural extension of the successful retail and leisure campus – the final piece of the jigsaw to give Catterick Garrison the town centre that it has so long deserved.

“We are delighted to have secured expanding retailer B&M as tenants for the new unit.”

The York-based company which has recently won planning approval for a number of major development schemes in York, Whitby and Edinburgh is looking for additional development opportunities across Yorkshire.
