Social Development Minister, Nelson McCausland yesterday visited the WIN Business Park in Newry to review the recently completed £400,000 refurbishment works.

The refurbishment works involved improvements to the main building to provide adequate facilities for conference events. The IT system for the Business Park was upgraded to provide a superior service for tenants.
In addition the funding was used enhance the overall appearance of the park, by upgrading the fencing, signage, lighting and road surfaces.
Minister McCausland said: “The WIN Business Centre is an excellent example of how local people can come together to address the problems associated with economic downturn. Since its establishment in the early 70’s it has gone from strength to strength and has made a massive contribution towards the regeneration of Newry providing accommodation for 70 businesses employing around 400 people.
“This project, which complements earlier work carried out in 2009, will ensure that the WIN Business Park can continue offer fit for purpose premises which provide an opportunity for small local businesses to trade, develop and flourish.”
