Southwell Business Park

It is housed at the former Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment, which closed in 1995 and became the Southwell Business Park in 1997.

[3] In 2010, the park went into administration after the UK recession made it difficult to repay borrowed money used to create the spa and hotel.

[7] In 2016, the Isle of Portland Aldridge Community Academy's new £14 million campus was opened within the park.

[11] The unused site was then redeveloped into seven industrial units, named the Network Enterprise Complex (NEC).

It was officially opened in 2018 by South Dorset MP Richard Drax and Weymouth and Portland's Mayor and Mayoress.

The establishment can be clearly seen on the skyline from various parts of Portland, particularly from the South West Coast Path which runs around the edge of the establishment.
