Welcome to the first edition of Park Xpress. This new, regular newsletter aims to keep you informed and up to date about activities and developments at Saltend Chemicals Park.
We would like to make you aware that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will be holding five, one-day stakeholder events across the UK covering EU Exit and its impact on the chemical regimes in a no-deal scenario.
The events will include:
- a session by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on non-regulatory information for businesses to help prepare for EU Exit;
- sessions led by HSE on the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) and Prior Informed Consent (PIC) regimes;
- and sessions led by Defra on Plant Protection Products (PPP) and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
The events will include some similar messaging to previous events but will reflect the current state of play. All five events will follow the same format.
These events will be more widely advertised on Monday 11th February, however we would like to give you the opportunity to share with your members and allow them early access to book a place.

The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has published a policy paper on The Grand Challenge Missions including establishing the world’s first net-zero carbon industrial cluster by:
- reducing emissions in 1 cluster to net-zero by 2040
- in at least 1 cluster, by 2030:
- the low-carbon infrastructure needed to support industrial decarbonisation will be in place and operational, attracting new investment and innovation
- multiple industrial facilities will already have reduced their emissions, by the greatest possible extent
- positioning UK clusters as top areas for global inward investment and driving demand for low carbon products and technologies by harnessing the power of markets, the public sector, universities and local communities
Success in this mission would transform our industrial clusters into world leading low-carbon manufacturing hubs, safeguarding existing jobs and companies on which the prosperity of key regions depends.
It will further establish the UK’s position at the forefront of the global shift to Clean Growth by developing world-leading expertise in green manufacturing products, and the technologies and services required to produce them. The mission aims to attract inward investment, new business and employment opportunities.
It will support the cost-effective decarbonisation of our industrial sector, which accounts for around a quarter of all UK GHG emissions.
Up to £170 million from the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund will support the mission through the Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge.

Commenting on the evening, David Talbot, CATCH CEO said: “The awards act as great recognition for individuals that work hard within the industries that we support.
“But with so many companies expected to attend, it will also be a great opportunity for people to network and build relationships. And that’s what we’re all about as an organisation! We’re here to support businesses, share best practice and overcome common challenges, whilst creating connections between our members.”
