The thriving Malton Enterprise Park has unveiled a brand-new welcoming entrance sign – designed by children in honour of the NHS.
Harrison Developments LLP, the owners and developers of Malton Enterprise Park, launched a competition for schoolchildren in the Malton area to design a new sign to pay tribute to the amazing work done by the NHS to combat Covid-19.
Sue Harrison explained: “We wanted to say a public thank you to the NHS for everything it has done in these incredibly challenging times – and we wanted to involve the community.
“So we hit upon the idea of a competition for local schoolchildren. When the entries came in, we thought they were all winners, so our colourful new sign celebrates a range of the entries.
“We are delighted with the result. Our park is on the main road from York into Malton, so it will be highly visible in the weeks and months to come, as the lockdown eases,” she said.
Work, subject to the thorough application of social distancing, is now restarting on the flourishing park, which has recently welcomed a raft of new occupiers.
The occupiers, from a wide range of business sectors, have taken a combined total of 27,500 sq ft at Malton’s premier employment park.
They include Snug Campers, Neu-Era and J S Graphixx, while two well-established Malton businesses, Direct Imaging and Parnabys, are now moving in.
Sean Harrison of Harrison Developments commented: “These new deals are a vindication of the substantial investment we have made in our park.
“More than 120 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 Ryedale.
“But the new deals are only part of the story. We have a further 119,000 sq ft of quality employment land at the park, available on a design and build basis. We will build speculatively and can 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 research, offices, general industrial and retail, trade and warehousing. Sizes range from 1,000 sq ft to100,000 sq ft,” said Sean.
Other occupiers already on site include Toolstation, Screwfix, Aquapoint, Dog Tooth, Bella di Notte and Dales The Chef’s Choice.
