Two new businesses move in to Yorkshire business park

A Yorkshire estates group has announced deals that will see new businesses arrive at a business park near Leeds.

Glentrool Estates Group has successfully secured deals for 23 acres of prime industrial land at the flourishing Sherburn2 business park at Sherburn-in-Elmet, Selby near Leeds.

Portakabin, the York-based modular building manufacturer, is using four acres at the new business park to base its site accommodation business supplying buildings across the North East and Yorkshire.

Meanwhile global motor manufacturer Ford has taken 16 acres of land for a new pre-delivery and inspection facility for new vehicle distribution operation in the North of England.

Jeremy Nolan, a director of Glentrool, commented: “We are very proud of having concluded these […] deals at Sherburn2. They are a resounding endorsement of both the quality and the location of our development.

“Work has progressed tremendously well at Sherburn2. The high-quality Cromwell building is occupied, and two major companies, Ford and Portakabin, are now on site too.

“The whole infrastructure of the site is complete, meaning Sherburn2 is oven ready for development and potential occupiers.

“We have also completed work on footpaths and cycleways connecting Sherburn2 to the adjacent Sherburn Enterprise Park, Sherburn and railway station. This is a very significant time for us after years of hard work and preparation”.

Josh Holmes of property consultancy Carter Towler, joint marketing agents for Sherburn2, said: “Sherburn2 is at a very exciting stage. Glentrool’s ambitious plans are being realised.

“We have had a lot of positive interest recently from manufacturing, logistics and warehousing businesses and now we have these exceptional new occupiers on site. This is a resounding endorsement of the quality of the development.”
