Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram, said: "We've invested £3m in the Hythe site to ensure that we’re able to keep offering outstanding facilities and as a catalyst to attract new businesses and jobs to the area. It's great to see that investment starting to physically take shape.
"Not only will these new facilities offer some of the most advanced office space in the area, they will also be some of the greenest and most sustainable. I'm sure they’ll help make our region a more attractive place for jobs and investment."
