Long-term lease agreed for 73,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics space

Property group Harworth has completed the letting of a recently completed industrial & logistics building at its Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham to Insight, a solutions and systems integrator.

Insight has agreed a 15-year lease for the 73,000 sq ft unit, which reached practical completion earlier this month.

It will serve as a major European Solutions Integration Centre for Insight, bringing together a number of operational processes under one roof, including distribution, technology lab services and agile office space.

200,000 sq ft of industrial & logistics space has now practically completed so far this year on the AMP, a hub for manufacturing in the UK, and home to global businesses such as Boeing and Rolls-Royce, as well as the UK Atomic Energy Authority and McLaren Automotive Composites Technology Centre.

Construction of a new 80,000 sq ft headquarters for Technicut, a specialist tool cutting manufacturer, is currently on site, with a further 400,000 sq ft of consented developable space available at the AMP.

Jonathan Haigh, chief investment officer at Harworth, said: “Insight is a global leader in its field and its decision to choose Harworth’s Advanced Manufacturing Park to support its expansion plans is testament to the quality of space on offer, and appeal of the location.

“The AMP has established itself as an international centre of excellence for advanced manufacturing with its designation as part of the UK Government’s first Investment Zone, and we are proud to have played a role in its creation.

“We continue to focus on delivering high quality industrial & logistics schemes across the Midlands and the North of England in undersupplied markets where we are seeing strong demand from a wide range of businesses.”
