Totalling in excess of a million sq ft, NFU Mutual is investing substantially across three Clowes Developments sites – Castlewood, EMDC, near Castle Donington and Centrix Park, in Northamptonshire.

James Richards, director at Clowes Developments, said: “The deal demonstrates confidence in the marketplace.

“For NFU Mutual to entrust a significant amount of capital in Clowes Developments is recognition for how far the group has come.

“This deal is by far the biggest transaction we have concluded as a group to date but we have other deals in the pipeline and this is an exciting time for the company.”
