Business park set to double in size

Potter Space has announced that it plans to double the size of its Droitwich site to more than 470,000 sq ft in the next five years.

Covering 38 acres, the business park currently has approximately 286,000 sq ft of industrial units and warehousing which are close to 100% occupancy.

With demand high for industrial units, Potter Space intends to start work on the first phase of the development in spring next year, which will comprise four units totalling around 105,000 sq ft.

Head of commercial delivery at Potter Space, Jenna Strover, said: “The company has traded successfully for more than 50 years and, during that time has created an impressive estate extending to 250 acres, with 1.6 million sq ft of units across the five business parks.

“We are now really looking forward to embarking on the next stage of our exciting journey to deliver the ambitious development strategy in Droitwich, while continuing to provide our existing customers with a first-class service.”

To jointly market the new units, Potter Space has appointed Fisher German and Harris Lamb.

Rob Champion of Fisher German said: “We continue to receive a significant number of enquiries for industrial units of various sizes in the region. Potter Space has the benefit of being in the heart of the West Midlands and within easy access of the M5, M40 and M6.

“The other advantage is that companies can work closely with Potter Space to build their own unit to their own specification and know that they will be delivered a high quality environmentally friendly building.”
