 In April 2010 , Malcolm Reid proposed the station 's site as a possible location for a £ 80 million Siemens wind turbine factory . The factory would create 700 jobs and up to 1 @,@ 500 further jobs in the supply chain if built . He has said the site would be perfect for the factory because of its close proximity to NaREC and the site 's existing deep dock facilities . The factory is likely to be built either in Blyth or on Humberside .
