Sefton Council has taken receipt of an application for the local employer’s base and some commercial units on a vacant plot at Southport Business Park.

Safety services firm EFT Group has submitted the plans for a new 26,500 sq ft headquarters as well as 26,800 sq ft of speculative accommodation in the form of 26 1,100 sq ft units.

Last year, EFT agreed to relocate to Southport Business Park from its current site off Cobden Road, which can no longer accommodate its planned growth.

Sefton Council granted the firm a 999-year lease on five acres of vacant land at Wight Moss Way.

The submission of plans for the project marks the next step on EFT’s growth journey.

Jordan Duggan, co-director of EFT Group, said: “As a local family company, we are proud of our roots in Southport.

“This development reflects our commitment to the area and our belief in its future, with this investment EFT Group is firmly bedding our roots into Southport for the next 50 years, creating a lasting base for our business, our employees and the next generation of workers across Sefton.

“We look forward to continuing to work with stakeholders, the local authority and the community as this exciting project progresses.”
