OVER the past five years, it has enjoyed £500m investment, employing about 1,000 workers.

Saltend Chemicals Park celebrate its centenary in 2014 and currently has 320 acres of land in use.

It is home to thriving businesses, including Vivergo, BP Acetyls, Ineos and Nippon Goshei.

BP has operated at the site since 1967, when it bought the site distilleries, prompting Saltend's expansion to a world-scale commodity chemicals manufacture.

Saltend Chemicals Park was founded in 2009 to manage the site and offer a mature and extensive infrastructure to support and service operations.

The recent £500m includes the £350m Vivergo Fuels plant and BP's £40m in a replacement "reformer" facility.
