Interest in the new industrial units at Airfield Business Park, Market Harborough remains high as Loughborough-based developer and contractor, William Davis Ltd announces two new sales.
Two further local businesses are relocating to the Park, which is also home to the Harborough Innovation and Business Centre. Thorpes of Great Glen Ltd (TGG), bespoke joinery specialists, has taken units M4 and M5, comprising 3,234 sq ft and will use the space for the accounts/administration function of TGG as well as a manufacturing and distribution base for its subsidiary, Fabric Systems Ltd, which manufactures and installs fabric acoustic panels.
The 2,106 sq ft unit M6 has been purchased by Market Harborough–based MJ Toolmakers, specialist manufacturers of injection mould tools for the plastic and rubber industries, and will aid the company’s expansion. “The business had started to outgrow its existing premises and we knew in order to generate further development we needed to centralise resources and increase our storage and manufacturing facilities,” explains Nathan McDermott, managing director, MJ Toolmakers. “The units at Airfield offered everything we were looking for –ample space for our sales/office function and manufacturing equipment; easily accessible and a customer friendly design that has been built to a high standard. We are confident this will provide a strong platform for expansion.” He concluded.
The lettings to MJ Toolmakers and Thorpes of Great Glen leave just two units available, which are offered on a freehold or leasehold basis and feature designated HGV loading areas together with on site car parking.
Stewart Kellie, development surveyor, William Davis said: “The industrial units have proven to be extremely popular with businesses looking to expand and both MJ Toolmakers and Thorpes of Great Glen serve as excellent examples of this. Whilst a widespread return to speculative build is not on the immediate horizon, these sales demonstrate the timing is right for Market Harborough.
“The company has recently secured planning permission for an additional eight business units on site, representing circa 30,000 sq ft, so we will continue to monitor the level of enquiries from local businesses and assess demand for future development.”
Airfield Business Park is a 20 acre development situated on the Northern outskirts of Market Harborough. The two remaining industrial units are being jointly marketed by Andrew Granger at Andrew Granger & Co; Geoff Gibson at Lambert Smith Hampton and Amanda Lawrence at Budworth Hardcastle.
