Perth Food and Drink Park open

Perth Food and Drink Park represents a £5m investment by Perth and Kinross Council and provides up to 11 serviced development plots across a 16 acre high quality and easily accessible site at North Muirton, to the north of the city.

The site has been specifically designed to create a hub for the all aspects of the food and drink industry in Scotland to thrive, and is being seen as having particular appeal to the fishery and aquaculture sector.

The Park is aimed at attracting inward investment opportunities as well as creating expansion potential for existing and start-up businesses.

It is predicted the Perth Food and Drink Park – the first dedicated hub of its kind in Scotland - could sustain up to 400 jobs once fully occupied.

Councillor John Kellas, Convener of Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee at Perth and Kinross Council, said the Park offers a unique opportunity for businesses in the food and drink sector to occupy a fully-flexible, bespoke site to develop or expand their operations, in one of Scotland’s most attractive locations.

He said, “With Perth Food and Drink Park now ‘open for business’, it’s an unparalleled opportunity for companies to take advantage of creating purpose-built premises while enjoying the benefits of shared business infrastructure and support facilities.”

Perth Food and Drink Park offers serviced development plots ranging in size from one acre to three acres – however, there is scope for units to be combined in larger premises - with each site providing medium pressure, HV electricity, superfast broadband, telecoms, water and drainage.
