Many investors and business leaders are today operating with varying caution in a pre-Brexit Britain, and in the midst of a general election scrum, yet there’s one industry giant in Lincoln that has no hesitation in moving forward.
Managing Director of Siemens in Lincoln Neil Corner has told The Lincolnite that booming markets across the globe in the company’s Industrial Turbomachinery arm have propelled the company into expansion of its flagship Teal Park site in North Hykeham.
As reported yesterday, Siemens is investing £35 million in purchasing its Teal Park site and moving its storage and servicing facility into a new state-of-the-art building there.

Works, currently based at Freeman Road, will be transferred to the new 7,000 square metre Global Service Operations Centre. Building work is set to begin in May and completed by January.
All the roles at Freeman Road have been secured and around 40 members of staff will be transferred to the new facility. The business also plans in the near future to increase headcount in the expanded facility with a number of new hires within around a year.
Neil Corner said the new facility would be bigger in capability and more efficient, investment will also go into the newly-designed kitting out inside, such as modern high-rise racking, storage facilities and carousels.

Snooker can be a lonely and brutal sport, but that strive for perfection is what keeps Lincoln’s Steven Hallworth — the city’s only player to reach the professional level — coming back to the table, even when the angles are tight.
It’s been a whirlwind career for Steven Hallworth, Lincoln’s first and only snooker player to ever reach the professional stage.
In the world of art, where creativity knows no bounds, chainsaw wood sculpting stands out as a thrilling blend of danger and beauty. Imagine wielding a roaring chainsaw, not to fell trees, but to carve them into stunning works of art. This is not your average hobby; it’s an adrenaline-fueled artistic adventure that dates back to the 1950s.
Chainsaw sculpting transforms ordinary wood into extraordinary masterpieces, pushing the limits of what’s possible with a tool more commonly associated with lumberjacking. But this is no rough-and-tumble trade; it’s a craft requiring precision, skill, and a steady hand, where the risk only heightens the allure.
