Regenerating Whitehill & Bordon is paving the way for around 3,000 jobs in the town and its surrounding area, according to the Whitehill & Bordon Regeneration Company.

It aims to create a job for every home built, a target of 2,400. But at its last question time event, project lead James Child said: “If all goes well, it’s looking like the regeneration will end up creating at least 3,000 new jobs.”

New employers include board games distribution company Asmodee, new town centre developments such as the Mess Hall, The Shed and the leisure centre, and flexible workspace hub SiGNAL.
