On the wrong side of the bridge, but potentially good news for some here as well... Up to 750 new jobs have been confirmed for Able Marine Energy Park as funding was secured by monopile manufacturer SeAH Wind Ltd for the Humber site. The South Korean steel tube specialist will receive a government grant to help build out a £117 million facility for offshore wind foundations. A similar number of jobs are anticipated in the supply chain and support sectors as the ‘big space in the right place’ looks set to finally realise its long-held potential. The financial backing was revealed by Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng today, with the company first outlining its intention back in September last year. Since then Able has secured £75 million from Westminster to support the huge North Killingholme port development, with the further funding dedicated to the inward investment. The new production facility is described as substantially boosting the UK’s offshore wind manufacturing base, supplying essential components to British offshore wind farms across the UK, as well as for export around the world.
I spoke to an HR fella at Amazon on Saturday who joined them 18 months ago when they had 35,000 in their UK team. He said it's already about 75,000.
It captures the spirit of Mick Ronson perfectly and Roland Gift on the side of his Mother's Shop(obviously a gift shop)... I wonder who else is going to be on it?
My young cousin lives in Blenheim St,we walk past it on the way to games...I'll have a look at it the first time I'm down. It's brilliant.
I seem to remember it being open until maybe mid 80s, but has been closed ever since. But nothing has ever been touched since.

"I've never attempted something like this before so it's been a case of learning as you go along," he said. "What I'm trying to achieve with the colours I'm using is to blend everything into the existing brickwork to make it look almost natural."

He also designed the sets for Hull playwright Rupert Creed's Turn and Face the Strange, the City of Culture-commissioned stage show which told the story of Mick Ronson, the legendary Hull-born guitarist who was the musical driving force behind David Bowie's Spiders from Mars. "It was Rupert who initially came up with the idea of the mural. He talked me into it," said Ed. With several well-known Hull faces from the city's music scene yet to appear on the mural, he says he's in no hurry to finish. please log in to view this image Ed Ullyart working his new new mural in Clumber Street "I honestly don't know how long it's going to take but I'm in no rush.

"He was a lovely chap, so it's the least I can do," said Ed.
