Latest deals ‘vindicate’ investment in employment park
A series of new deals have been signed for space at Malton Enterprise Park, in North Yorkshire.
New arrivals include Puddleducks Children’s Nursery, the Pebblechild charity, No Limits Cycling and Be Amazing Arts, while existing occupiers Bella di Notte, Aquapoint and The Chef’s Choice have moved into new business units on the park.
In addition, a number of other units on the 180,000 sq ft site, ranging from 2,000 sq ft upwards, have been sold to private investors.
In total, occupiers from a range of sectors have taken on 100,000 sq ft at the employment park.
Harrison Developments LLP is owner and developer of the park, which is next to the A64.
Sean Harrison, managing director, said: “These new deals are a tremendous vindication of the substantial investment we have made in our park.
“More than 180 new and sustainable jobs have been created on site, which makes us very proud. The wide variety of successful businesses here is also an indication of the strength of the economy in the Ryedale area.
“We are especially pleased that successful Yorkshire businesses such Bella di Notte and Dales The Chef’s Choice have moved into larger premises on our park, because they like the location and the ambience so much.
“These are not the easiest of times, as we slowly emerge from a pandemic into a worrying cost of living crisis, but the current level of activity at our park gives us confidence for the future.”
Ben Lawson, of No Limits Cycling, said: “Malton Enterprise Park is the perfect base for us. The flexibility of the mezzanine unit in which we are in has meant that I have been able to transform it into a cycling paradise, with an extensive showroom and offices.”
Be Amazing Arts has relocated from Showfield Road in Malton. Operation director, Natalie Aconley, said: “Our previous premises were next door to a very busy road, which was a worry as we work extensively with children. Here we are safe and secure. We have also been able to transform our new premises into the ideal office, rehearsing and performance space.
Harrison added: “We have a further 100,000 sq ft of quality employment land at the park, available on a design and build basis. We will build speculatively and will either sell or lease the new units.
“These units will be single or two-storey commercial buildings which will be designed with maximum flexibility to allow a range of uses, including light industrial, offices, general industrial and retail, trade and warehousing. Sizes range from 1,000 sq ft to 50,000 sq ft.”
