Wilkinson Business Park more than 70% let

Acting on behalf of Gladman Commercial Properties, Chester-based property surveyor Legat Owen has secured a new occupier at Wilkinson Business Park, on Wrexham Industrial Estate.

The development is now 70% occupied, with just five units remaining, ranging from 500 to 6,000 sq ft.

Waste and recycling service provider ASH Group, is the latest company to sign up to commercial space with the agent and will be relocating and expanding from its current premises, to building 16, a 6,100 sq ft detached office unit.

ASH Group will join other occupiers on the estate, including Meadowvale Foods, Soleil, and Castlemead Group.

Neil Hassall, ASH Group managing director, said: “This is an exciting time for our company as we relocate to new premises on Wilkinson Business Park.

“It is an ideal location which suits all our business needs and we are committed to investing in our future there.”

Will Sadler, director at Legat Owen, said “We are delighted that ASH Group has selected Wilkinson Business Park as the location for the next phase of its expansion.

“They are a significant employer in the region and the company’s decision to relocate here underlines the strength of the park as a business destination. There is a strong level of interest in the remaining space.”

ASH Group provides a varied portfolio of waste management services from its bases in Wrexham, Chester, Ellesmere Port, Widnes, Manchester and Birmingham and currently employs more than 180 staff across all of its sites.

Wilkinson Business Park is located on Wrexham Industrial Estate, which is approximately three miles to the east of Wrexham town centre.

It is easily accessed via the A534 and A525 and is 12 miles from Chester.

Wrexham Industrial estate is one of North Wales’ largest commerce estates, with a wide range of national and international occupiers including JCB and cereal giant, Kellogg’s.
