Stage set for investment and expansion at North Yorkshire business park
Creative construction company Stage One Creative Services, which has built the sets for prime time TV programmes such as The Voice and Pitch Battle, has announced its commitment to expanding and investing in its existing base at a North Yorkshire business park.
Stage One has expanded by taking an additional 15,000 sq ft at Marston Moor Business Park in Tockworth and has signed a new 15 year lease on all four buildings which in total provides over 100,000 sq ft of industrial, manufacturing and office accommodation.
Stage One employs more than 160 people and has been involved in high profile projects such as the London 2012 Olympic Ceremonies and The UK Pavilion at the Milan Expo.
Mark Johnson, CEO at Stage One, said: “The decision to secure and expand our premises is a significant move for our business. Our continued investment in new technology and our developing employee base demands premises that make us operationally robust as the business moves into its next phase of growth.”
Marston Moor Business Park is one of the largest single owned industrial estates in North Yorkshire and is owned by Regional REIT and managed by London & Scottish Property.
Marston Moor Business Park forms part of the World War II airbase formerly known as RAF Marston Moor, which trained aircrew on the Halifax Bomber between 1942 and 1945 and is located at Tockwith, near Wetherby in North Yorkshire.
Paul Mack, director at Gent Visick who brokered the transaction, said: “We are delighted that Stage One have committed to Marston Moor on a long term basis. To secure such a high profile company is fantastic news not only for the estate but also for the region. This transaction gives Stage One the security and platform to enable them to invest in their premises, infrastructure and staff to facilitate growth of the company.”
Gent Visick and Glasgow based solicitors Burness Paull Williamson represented London & Scottish Investments, whilst Simon Mydlowski of Leeds-based solicitors Gordons represented Stage One Creative Services.
