Work is underway to enable the installation of three new units, extending the site to 189,095 sq ft and 14 separate retailers.

Mick George has been appointed by Stainforth Construction Ltd.

Demolition of Unit 10, the former KFC restaurant that was closed late last year, is now complete enabling earthworks to be conducted for the new buildings.

The works are part of wider £7.5m plans to improve the Park.

Five units have already seen major refurbishments and a further planning application has been submitted with Leicester City Council requesting permission to build two more small buildings.

Michael George, Contracts Director at Mick George Ltd said: ‘’Given that we have two sites in the Leicestershire region now, we are more familiar with the local amenities and are aware of the importance of locations such as St. Georges Retail Park on the local community.

“This knowledge, alongside our expertise in the related fields of Demolition and Earthworks respectively, will stand us in good-stead delivering the project to the highest of standards in a complex, live-working environment.’’
