Chichester College, which owns and runs Brinsbury as its countryside campus, has stated all prospective companies for the units would be required to have an educational link with the campus.

Companies that have expressed an interest so far include a widget distributor, an aircraft parts supplier, a commercial aquarina and a juice drink manufacturer.
