The banking giant is to open its 24th Eagle Labs incubator, its first in Cumbria, at the redeveloped Whitehaven Bus Station on 25 May.
Sellafield has provided £5.7m towards the redevelopment of the historic bus station, which was vacated in 2002. The development has been taken forward by Britain’s Energy Coast.
BEC mapped out a project including seven offices, 30 co-working spaces and five meeting rooms at the 1930s Bransty Row building. In all the first floor level of the former station and the atendant offices comprise 7,700 sq ft.
In addition, the ground floor will house a 125-seat restaurant called The Peddler, for which Osprey Management Group secured a licence in January.
