Construction of Whitby Maritime
Training Hub gathers pace
Construction is well underway on a multi-million pound
scheme in Whitby that is aimed at helping to drive forward
the local economy and boost job opportunities.
The Whitby Maritime Training Hub hopes to establish the
port as a key player in the maritime and off-shore
renewable energy sectors.
A centre will be created on Endeavour Wharf with early
technical groundwork having now been completed, and
with construction progressing well.
We were among the project’s leading organisations who
recently met at the site to witness the early progress, along
with council leader Cllr Carl Les, local members Cllr Phil
Trumper and Cllr Neil Swannick, Ellis Cooper, Barry
Harland, Linda Wild, developer Willmott Dixon and the
Whitby Town Deal Board.
Willmott Dixon is leading on the construction, which is
expected to be completed by April 2026, and we’re taking
on the project management contract administration.
Whitby is one of North Yorkshire’s most-loved coastal
towns and we’re proud to be part of this exciting project.
Highways department
strengthened by geotechnical
delivery manager’s arrival
We have strengthened our highways
department by appointing our first chartered
geologist.
Mark Deighton brings nearly two decades of
geotechnical and engineering geology
experience.
Having previously worked on a number of
landslip, mining and geotechnical
infrastructure schemes, Mark will work
alongside our engineering and design teams to
provide specialist ground analysis.
Mark started his role as our first-ever
geotechnical delivery manager in May – and is
looking forward to offering his expertise to a
range of civil engineering projects.
It’s great to have you on-board, Mark!
