North Yorkshire technology park fully let after double deal
TWO businesses are to relocate from the former Dunlopillo site in Pannal near Harrogate, which is in the process of being sold for a major mixed-use scheme, after signing leases at Knaresborough Technology Park.
Naught One, which designs and manufactures furniture, has taken a 13,000 sq ft industrial unit, while Control Zone Products, a specialist manufacturer of fly and odour control solutions, has signed for 6,200 sq ft of industrial space.
Tom Brown, surveyor at Carter Jonas, who brokered the two deals said: “We are seeing a significant increase in demand for industrial space across Harrogate owing partly to the impending closure of the business park at Pannal where tenants have been served notice to vacate by 1st September. The subsequent raft of requirements across the Harrogate market has resulted in demand significantly outstripping supply meaning some businesses are struggling to find alternative premises.”
Chris Lee, managing director at Control Zone Products, said: “To return to the site where fly control units were manufactured many years ago is an excellent feeling. The high quality accommodation will allow us to enhance our product offering and better serve our clients’ needs moving forward. We look forward to many long and prosperous years ahead based at Knaresborough Technology Park.”
Graham Keddie, managing director GSPK, which owns Knaresborough Technology Park, said: “I am delighted to welcome Naught One and Control Zone Products to Knaresborough Technology Park. The calibre of these two occupiers is testament to the quality of accommodation we have to offer.”
The business park is now fully let.
