The firms Modular Solutions division is to relocate from Sherburn to a new site on Malton Enterprise Park next year.
Headquartered in York, Severfield is renowned for being the UK’s market leader in structural steelwork and has been involved in many high-profile projects such as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, The Shard, and 22 Bishopsgate, all in London.
In whats being described as "one of the most significant commercial property deals in North Yorkshire during the past 12 months", the Group’s Modular Solutions division is relocating to Malton’s enterprise park from its current site in Sherburn.
Work has now begun on the hi-spec 80,000 sq. ft building, where operations for Severfield Modular Solutions will be based, and it will be ready for occupation in early 2026.
The 150 jobs which Severfield is moving to the area means there will now be over 500 staff on site at the Malton park, which is strategically located next to the A64 York-Scarborough Road.
Sean Harrison, the Founder and Managing Director of Harrison Developments which operates the business park said:
"The arrival of Severfield Modular Solutions moves our park to the next level.
“We were first approached by North Yorkshire Council’s economic development team in November last year. It was clear that the Modular Solutions division of Severfield might have to leave the county if suitable premises couldn’t be found for its expansion.
“We had prime land available on our park and so we were able to help. Geographically and financially, this was a perfect solution for Severfield.
“So, a planning application was submitted to the council in the early part of 2025 and, thanks to a diligent and professional approach from everyone involved, permission was granted in June. Now we are delighted to report that it’s all systems go, and 150 jobs have been saved for the county.
“The Malton Enterprise Park has proved to be one of the most successful commercial developments in North Yorkshire over the past five years, creating hundreds of new and sustainable jobs for the Malton area. The Severfield deal is one of the most significant during this time and is a ringing endorsement of what we have achieved here.”
David Pout, Business Unit Director of Severfield Modular Solutions, said,
“This is an incredibly exciting step in our journey as a Modular Solutions business.
The growth and potential we see in the sectors we serve are huge; therefore, having the right facilities to deliver the highest standards for our clients is crucial.
At Severfield, we pride ourselves on having an industry-leading workforce, and I look forward to seeing our colleagues thrive in this new working environment.”
Cllr Mark Crane, North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for open to business, said:
“One of the strengths of our place shaping and growth team is its facilitating role, helping to match vacant business space with companies looking to expand their current North Yorkshire operations or set up here for the first time. This helps to protect and create jobs and stimulates economic growth.
“We’re proud of the part we’ve played in finding Severfield Modular Solutions a new home within the county and we look forward to the opening of its new premises at Malton Enterprise Park next year.”
