Lucky 13 for SMEs at Markham Vale

Thirteen new modern units for SMEs have been built at the flagship regeneration site Markham Vale.

The units, ranging in size from 1,200 to 3,050 sq ft, are available to purchase or lease and have been built by Barnsley-based property developer Priority Space in partnership with the Hunt Group.

Lee Buchanan director at Priority Space, said: “We are delighted to have brought forward a new modern industrial scheme at Markham Vale and are extremely happy with the level of enquires that we are receiving. There will be an open day on the morning of the 5 and 6 September for people who would like to view the new units.”

Derbyshire County Council Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration councillor Tony King said: “We’re delighted to welcome these new units to Markham Vale. They offer a great space for small to medium-sized businesses looking to either expand or start-up and have fantastic transport links being located just off junction 29A of the M1 motorway.

He added: “It’s an exciting time at Markham Vale − the site is now home to 42 businesses and more than 1,000 new jobs have been created so far. And we look forward to welcoming even more businesses over the next few months to join Markham’s thriving business community.”

Anthony Clitheroe from Henry Boot Developments said: “We are delighted to see the Wilson Business Park open for business and look forward to welcoming new businesses to Markham Vale in the near future.”

Scunthorpe-based construction firm Britcon (UK) Limited built the units on behalf of Priority Space and the Hunt Group. Stuart Waite from CPP Commercial Property is marketing the units.
