100 jobs to be created as construction firm completes first phase of business park

Construction firm Stepnell has reached a key landmark in the development of one of its biggest ever projects.

Rugby-based Stepnell has completed the first phase of a new 85,000 sq ft business park development in the town, which will eventually include a brand new head office for the 151-year-old family-owned firm.

The redevelopment, stretched across ten acres of land, is one of its biggest developments to date for the company, which has been based at Lawford Road, Rugby since 1965.

The £8m commercial development space features ten new industrial, warehouse or trade-counter buildings, ranging in size from around 5,000 to 26,500 sq ft

Edward Wakeford, property director at Stepnell, said: “We are delighted to have completed the first phase at Stepnell Park, which is a landmark development for both the company and the area as a whole. It showcases our ability to offer a complete development service – from the very beginning with our planning and construction teams, right through to the end with our development team.

“The redevelopment will bring new investment and commercial opportunities to the area and will also provide up to 100 new jobs for the West Midlands. We are committed to investing in our local area and we are thrilled that this fantastic scheme will also act as a brand new head office for the company.”
