What would you do with more than 1,000 sqft of empty workspace?
Our commercial property developments are home to such a wide range of businesses, we thought we’d take you on a whistlestop tour of some of them. Across the UK, companies in diverse sectors have chosen Priority Space business parks as their base.
Our tenants and owner-occupiers range from an interiors homeware business in Mansfield to a global online retailer of luxury Italian boots in Hereford.
We have a property cleaning and maintenance expert working out of our Darlington business park and an installer of solar panels and EV charging points working out of our Doncaster site.
Businesses say they’re attracted by the look of our smart, high-spec units which present a good first impression to clients. Each tenant then takes the blank canvas we provide – ie a bright, clean, secure and energy-efficient premises - and makes it their own.
At Evolution Park, Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic has fitted its 2,000sqft unit with probably the largest dog hydrotherapy pool in the Northeast, complete with two aquatic treadmills.
At Aria Park in Mansfield, Diamante Crafts – who supply ostrich feathers and sequins to Strictly Come Dancing! - has added a mezzanine floor to their 2,500 sqft unit to almost double their storage and display capacity.
Diamante Crafts is also one of the growing number of businesses who are opting to buy rather than rent premises – and we are one of very few commercial property developers to offer owner-occupiers that option.
Owner Jacqueline says: “Buying our own unit at Aria Park has allowed us to invest in our own workspace and extend it so we can buy more variety of stock in bulk; and so respond more quickly to increased demand and grow the business.”
Expansion is one of the main reasons companies take on our units. Electrical engineers ProSys Automation started with one unit and now own two in our Centenary Park Hereford development. They use this double base to work with clients all over the UK and Europe.
Director Ben says: “We needed room to grow and develop. Our Centenary Park units give us modern facilities, low maintenance and running costs and good, easy access. It’s been great for business.”
Businesses also say location, access, sustainability, facilities and parking are amongst the reasons they chose a Priority Space unit.
For Tees Valley Campers and Customs the height of its 1,000 sqft unit in Darlington made it perfect for the bespoke workshop they need to convert ordinary vans into fully-fitted and kitted-out leisure campers.
Owner John says: “One of the main plus points is the unit’s height of above four metres, which comfortably gives me the head room I need to fit pop-top roofs on to customers’ vehicles.”
Priority Space is committed to developing sites across the UK to create high-quality workplaces for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Plasterers, PPE suppliers, sweet sellers, security consultants and gin distillers - what could you add to our list of tenants and owner-occupiers?
