New home for Henderson’s Relish
THE manufacturer of one of Sheffield best-loved products, Henderson’s Relish, has moved into a new home at JF Finnegan’s 58 acre Sheffield Parkway Business Park.
After starting life in Sheffield over 100 years ago, spicy condiment Henderson’s Relish has been in uninterrupted production within half a mile of the original site on Broad Lane from which the first bottle was filled.
The company has now purchased a double hybrid unit comprising around 5,000 sq ft of food production space including offices and warehouse facilities on Site 5 of Sheffield Parkway Business Park.
Henderson’s Relish joins occupiers such as WH Smith, Ferrari Pistons Services and Costco at the scheme, which over the last decade has transformed the former wholesale markets site into one of South Yorkshire’s most popular business parks with 800,000 sq ft of business and manufacturing space next to Junction 33 of the M1.
The final phase of the development saw 100,000 sq ft speculatively built over five sites with the support of Objective One funding and has attracted tenants including Synergy Health, Arkote and Property Pasty Company.
Nick Gillott, director at JF Finnegan, said: “The long-term vision for Sheffield Parkway Business Park was to accommodate a range of manufacturing and industrial operations in keeping with the site’s formative usages.
“With the letting to Henderson’s Relish, we are cementing this vision and it is entirely fitting to have a company with so much local history joining a development with such a significant background. We are delighted to be welcoming the team behind the famous relish to join our tenant mix.”
