In December 2002, the practice was appointed by West Lancashire District Council, through the North West Development Agency, to prepare plans for a two storey new build Investment Centre at White Moss Business Park, Skelmersdale. A feasibility study was undertaken for the design and proposals put forward to the NWDA for funding approval. Cassidy + Ashton were appointed directly by West Lancashire District Council as Lead Consultant on a partnering based contract. The building comprises a series of Incubator Units varying in size from 500 to 3000 sq. ft. The units are set around a central open courtyard with a feature entrance leading from on site car parking. The project was completed in 2004 with a contract sum of £4,500,000.
