Fri, 23 May 2014Around 850 UK jobs will be created or secured at Nottingham-based Chinook Sciences and its UK supply chain by recent new orders, after the company won a major infrastructure deal from the United Arab Emirates.

Trade minister Lord Livingston made the announcement today [23 May] on a visit to the company’s Nottingham headquarters.

The deal to build the world’s largest advanced thermal energy-from-waste facility in the Emirate of Sharjah in the UAE will be worth over £300m. It was awarded by Bee’ah, one of the Middle East’s leading environmental and waste management companies.

The deal is set to benefit Chinook’s UK supplier base of 440 companies, which supply more than 92% of Chinook’s technology and represent every region of the UK.

The Sharjah deal and other orders within Chinook’s pipeline of projects are estimated to create 200 new UK jobs over the next two years, and secure a further 650. About half of these new jobs will be in the East Midlands.
