Oxford University Press
Oxford University Press, the country’s largest university printing press firm, will move into a new warehouse at ProLogis Park, off the A6003 in Kettering. It will bring 300 jobs with it and its expansion is expected to create more roles.
Chief executive Nigel Portwood said: “This is an exciting opportunity for OUP and our employees; we were keen to remain in the area in order to retain our committed local workforce.”
“We reviewed several options, but ultimately the site in Kettering gave us the exact requirements we were looking for.”
“We are looking forward to building fruitful relationships in Kettering and taking our distribution service to the next level.”
Founded in 1480, OUP is a department of Oxford University. The new site in Kettering, due to open in early 2011, will be its national distribution headquarters.
