Business Park, Market Harborough
Interest in the new industrial units at Airfield Business Park,
Market Harborough remains high as Loughborough-based developer and
contractor, William Davis Ltd announces two new sales.
Two further local businesses are relocating to the Park, which
is also home to the Harborough Innovation and Business Centre.
Thorpes of Great Glen Ltd (TGG), bespoke joinery specialists, has
taken units M4 and M5, comprising 3,234 sq ft and will use the
space for the accounts/administration function of TGG as well as a
manufacturing and distribution base for its subsidiary, Fabric
Systems Ltd, which manufactures and installs fabric acoustic
panels.
The 2,106 sq ft unit M6 has been purchased by Market
Harborough-based MJ Toolmakers, specialist manufacturers of
injection mould tools for the plastic and rubber industries, and
will aid the company's expansion. "The business had started to
outgrow its existing premises and we knew in order to generate
further development we needed to centralise resources and increase
our storage and manufacturing facilities," explains Nathan
McDermott, managing director, MJ Toolmakers. "The units at Airfield
offered everything we were looking for -ample space for our
sales/office function and manufacturing equipment; easily
accessible and a customer friendly design that has been built to a
high standard. We are confident this will provide a strong platform
for expansion." He concluded.
The lettings to MJ Toolmakers and Thorpes of Great Glen leave
just two units available, which are offered on a freehold or
leasehold basis and feature designated HGV loading areas together
with on site car parking.
Stewart Kellie, development surveyor, William Davis said: "The
industrial units have proven to be extremely popular with
businesses looking to expand and both MJ Toolmakers and Thorpes of
Great Glen serve as excellent examples of this. Whilst a widespread
return to speculative build is not on the immediate horizon, these
sales demonstrate the timing is right for Market
Harborough.
"The company has recently secured planning permission for an
additional eight business units on site, representing circa 30,000
sq ft, so we will continue to monitor the level of enquiries from
local businesses and assess demand for future development."
Airfield Business Park is a 20 acre development situated on the
Northern outskirts of Market Harborough. The two remaining
industrial units are being jointly marketed by Andrew Granger at
Andrew Granger & Co (01858 439090); Geoff Gibson at Lambert
Smith Hampton (0116 255 2694) and Amanda Lawrence at Budworth
Hardcastle (01536 483400).
