Building legacy and social value in the northwest…

'One Murphy Hub' consolidates existing J Murphy & Son’s offices and depot operations – currently located in Stonecross and Kennedy Road - under the same roof within a specialist new facility in Golborne.

Located on an incredibly sensitive ‘green belt’ site, the new scheme is comprised of a new three storey office building offering state of the art workspace facilities (BREEAM Excellent), a workshop (BREEAM Very Good), training facilities for site operatives, a National Rail Training Centre all served by a carpark festooned with 2,100m2 of renewable energy generating solar PV canopies.

The new facility not only represents a significant investment in J Murphy & Sons future - set over a 50 year horizon - but also cements their commitment to community ‘wealth building’, providing positive lasting legacy and social value. In this instance economic benefits such as a £450k+/pa local spend and 215+ new high-value jobs will support the continued development of the region.

In addition, a new Nature Park will provide outdoor amenity for local families and an opportunity to advance biodiversity in the local area.

Following completion and relocation the existing Murphy site will be repurposed to provide 26 new homes.
