By all accounts it hasn't gone down well at all and objections have been filed left, right & centre. H&S hasn't been considered whatsoever and the opposition seems to be so strong that at the very least the planned drop zone near the Charlie taxiway will likely not go ahead. Whether that means the firm would still move in or not I'm not sure, full credit to the airport for trying to bring extra business in, but it's not been very well thought through on this occasion, a prime example being if the Air Ambulance needs to depart on an emergency call-out but has to delay due to parachutes falling, it could make the difference between life and death for some poor begger.

If this goes ahead, I fear one bit of new business could lead to the loss of existing business(es).
