New manager has big plans for Barnsley businesses

The new manager of Bizspace’s Oaks Business Park in Barnsley says she will ensure the site is known as the “flagship” centre for offices and industrial units in the area.

Zoe Wadsworth, 28, was appointed by leading flexible business accommodation provider, Bizspace, this summer, after a successful career in events and marketing for Hilton Hotels.

Zoe, from Penistone, was seeking a role with more management responsibilities and says her new position is a perfect fit.

“I really like what Bizspace stands for and that it’s professional, yet friendly and approachable,” she said.

“I love working with people and my previous role was all about delivering a first class customer experience, so this job is ideal for me.”

Zoe aims to make sure that Oaks Business Park, Oaks Lane, is a well-known location throughout the area, working to make it easy to find and spreading the word about its many benefits. She will also be working to promote use of the centre’s meeting room – available to hire by the hour, half day or day – to a wider customer base.

Oaks Business Park is currently home to 14 businesses – some of which occupy multiple units to fulfil both their office and industrial requirements. While nearly all the centre’s industrial units are occupied, there are several one or two person offices available for rent – ideal for start-up businesses or other small companies.

A second building – Acorn House – is currently being refurbished and will provide several larger office units when it opens in 2016.

Bizspace sales and marketing director, Emma Long, said believes Zoe will be a fantastic asset for Barnsley customers.

“Zoe has lots of exciting ideas for Oaks Business Park that we are sure will be welcomed by both our existing customers and their clients, as well as businesses looking for commercial premises in the area,” she commented.

“Oaks Business Park has a fantastic mix of customers and Zoe will be working to ensure it continues to be a thriving business hub in the community.”
