Nottingham manufacturer buys 10,000 sq ft unit
Copley Scientific, based on Colwick Quays Business Park in Nottingham, has bought a 10,000 sq ft facility to be built close to their existing site.
The deal marks the first stage of Quayside Court – oa speculative industrial schemes.
Copley Scientific is a manufacturer and supplier of inhaler test equipment and celebrated its 70th anniversary last year, having been founded in Nottingham in 1946. Work will start on the 10,000 sq ft facility this month (March).
Nottingham based RH Developments, a privately-owned investment and development company which owns the site, is building the unit.
Max Kwan, group development manager at RH Developments, said: “We’re very pleased to be able to assist Copley in their next phase of expansion and work with them to create a new facility to house their growing business.
“Overlooking the River Trent Colwick Quays is already a well-established zone not far from the waterside area which is enjoying a huge amount of investment and regeneration. This new scheme of Quayside Court marks the start of further investment by RH Developments in this exciting and underutilised area of the city. Quayside Court will service local demand from the industrial sector which is an exciting new scheme for Nottingham. “
Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants added: “We are delighted that Copley Scientific has committed their future to Colwick Quays Business Park, they are a fantastic local business achieving great things and will only add to the quality of the business park and the wider area.
“Quayside Court will provide much needed units from 2,500 sq ft up to 20,000 sq ft totalling some 30,000 sq ft to service this local demand which has become frustrated by the lack of good quality stock within the area to service business expansions.”
