Summary
- Former Haleon factory in Maidenhead will be demolished.
- Site will be replaced by three new industrial units.
- New development is expected to create approximately 530 jobs.
The site of a former toothpaste and mouthwash factory in Maidenhead is slated for a significant redevelopment. Plans have been approved to demolish the existing structure on Norreys Drive, which was formerly operated by Haleon. This company, known for brands such as Sensodyne and Centrum, vacated the premises in March.
The approved plan involves constructing three smaller industrial units on the site. Developer Firethorn aims to bring the area back into active use. They project that the new development will create approximately 530 jobs once operational. This initiative signifies a new chapter for the former manufacturing facility, shifting its purpose to accommodate new industrial activities and employment.
