Manufacturer expands along the Spectrum

MANUFACTURER Union Industries has leased 16,500 sq ft of industrial space off Hunslet Road at Spectrum Business Park.

The industrial door and hazard protection solutions manufacturer has signed a 10-year lease for the property, owned by Leeds-based property firm Rushbond.

The 70,000 sq ft business park also houses Land Rover dealership Farnell’s sales and service centres.

Richard Baker from Rushbond said: “Union Industries is a very well-respected Leeds business with a strong local heritage and the company is already a major property occupier in this part of Leeds, which makes them a welcome addition to Spectrum Park so we’re delighted to be able to facilitate the company’s next phase of growth.”

Andrew Lane, managing director at Union Industries, said: “This latest expansion follows a very exciting few months at Union Industries.

“In November 2014, we became an employee-owned company meaning every single employee now owns shares in the business which is great for everyone, especially as the improving economy is helping to drive demand for our products on a global scale, with both new and existing customers.

“Expanding our operations at Spectrum Park gives us an extremely high quality industrial space, conveniently located for Angel’s Wing, and it will enable us to service the increase in business that we are experiencing as we embark on our next phase of growth.”
