A multi-million pound business centre within Goole’s developing train manufacturing cluster has opened.

RaisE - Rail, Accelerator and Innovation Solutions Hub for Enterprise - has been brought forward by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, and launched with the backing of key stakeholders Siemens Mobility and University of Birmingham.

More than 50 guests joined the senior representatives, taking the first opportunity to see what services it has to offer

The striking three-storey building provides 3,200 sq m of commercial floor space, including grade-A offices and workshop facilities aimed at SMEs, while providing the office base for Siemens as it delivers the huge £200 million facility in the vicinity.

Located on Tom Pudding Way within the Goole 36 Enterprise Zone, conference and meeting rooms as well as break-out areas are also included, with a cafe to serve the wider business park to open in the coming months.

It is hoped more than 90 new jobs could be created, with businesses attracted by the wider development, where 700 people will be building new trains - initially for Transport for London.

Cllr Jonathan Owen, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “It really is fantastic to see the RaisE business centre in Goole become operational and this exciting project, alongside the rest of the ‘Rail Village’ is brilliant news for Goole and the surrounding areas.
