Local Firms set to use Metal Box site
Three successful firms run by a Neath businessman are to be the first occupiers of the former Crown/Metal Box factory site which Neath Port Talbot Council has bought with the aim of transforming it into a major new employment centre.
Timber frame specialists Sevenoaks Modular Ltd, Hale Construction and Hale Homes, all headed by Neath’s Jonathan Hale, will re-locate to the Milland Road former factory site which was occupied for more than 70 years by Metal Box and more recently, Crown Packaging, until its closure in 2016.
Now Neath Port Talbot Council plans to convert the site, situated between Briton Ferry and Neath, into a centre for offices, construction and other uses with the potential for significant job creation.
Sevenoaks and Hale Construction, both chaired by Mr Hale, and Hale Homes, which has Mr Hale as its managing director, have acquired a major part of the former Crown/Metal Box site.
