Two major new housing projects in South Wales set to create up to 2,300 new jobs

The Welsh government has announced funding for two new residential developments in South Wales that are set to create 2,300 new jobs and generate an economic boost of around £225m, a news report in the local business media has recently revealed.

The new developments will include a large number of affordable homes and are proposed for the 39-acre former steelworks site at Whiteheads, Newport – which will also support delivery of a new primary school – and a 16-acre site at Eirin Park, Tonyrefail.

Economy Minister Edwina Hart said: “Subject to planning permission these two new projects are anticipated to create around 2,300 jobs and deliver an economic benefit in the region of £225 million to the local economies. These are significant figures that will support job creation in the construction industry as well as businesses within the supply chain.

“They will also help transform brownfield sites into thriving communities and provide affordable homes in places where people want to live which are within the financial reach of young families and lower income families.”

Managing the workforce involved in a busy construction site is not an easy task for any building contractor’s HR department, especially one that will have to deal with such an extensive project. However, the implementation of a very solid and reliable workforce management system can help a lot with that.
