TWO new companies have signed up for purpose-built factory units on Burnley's Network 65 commercial park.

And that means all four 5,000 sq ft speculative developments built by Barnfield Construction of Nelson have been let on the council-owned site.

The new companies, which have not yet been named, join training company Nightfreight and engineers Design Applications in the units.

The only other firm on the new 65-acre Accrington Road site is Cornwell Parker, which brought 100 workers to its new factory.

A report to councillors says several other companies have expressed interest in moving to the business park.
