It was fantastic to meet with representatives from Top Hat again on a recent Friday in the constituency to see their new site where works have now begun, and to discuss opportunities for the business’ growth locally and nationally.
At 650,000sq ft, the site will be the largest 3D modular homes facility in Europe, with a capacity to produce one-house-per-hour and will create 1,000 new green economy jobs. It is planned to open by the end of 2023 and will be built at the new Magna Park site in Corby by leading global logistics developer GLP.
Top Hat is at the forefront of a house-building revolution, applying robotics and lean manufacturing techniques to increase housing supply, improve quality, reduce costs and protect the environment. Top Hat’s homes are ultra-low carbon to build and to run, significantly reducing living costs at this time of very high energy prices and into the future - this really is very exciting stuff and builds on our remarkable record locally in delivering new homes, but in this case, they will be built in Corby and delivered nationally. I think we are the perfect fit!
