Work set to begin on next phase of expansion at Beverley business park

Allenby Commercial, the Hull-based property developer, is set to deliver the next phase of work at a business park redevelopment in Beverley.

The company is aiming to complete the build of three new units at The Trade Yard Beverley by autumn.

This expansion will offer up to 9,000 sq ft of warehouse and workshop space with offices.

Garness Jones, which is marketing the new site at Barmston Road, Beverley, believes the development will attract occupiers of a similar calibre to those which have already moved into the first phase at Beverley and into The Trade Yard Scunthorpe, Allenby’s first venture under the new brand.

Dale Gooderham, senior agency surveyor at Garness Jones, said: “The first phase of redevelopment at The Trade Yard in Beverley is now complete and fully occupied, with Screwfix taking the first unit and Topps Tiles opening in April.

“The Trade Yard Scunthorpe attracted Toolstation, which is further evidence of the ability of Allenby Commercial to build high quality space which meets the needs of these expanding national brands.

“The Trade Yard Beverley is also in a particularly good location for smaller operators, close to a lot of other businesses which are investing and expanding as the town benefits from much improved road links.”

Allenby Commercial launched The Trade Yard brand after acquiring the 7.24-acre Swinemoor Industrial Estate in 2015. Existing tenants included Bartoline, which occupies 28,000 sq ft, and Derbybeech modular buildings with 62,000 sq ft.

The first phase saw the construction of two units of 5,000 sq ft each. Screwfix opened last year, creating 14 jobs. Topps Tiles created five new jobs when it opened in April this year.

Charlie Allenby, contracts manager at Allenby Commercial, commented: “Our strategy in buying the old Swinemoor Industrial Estate was to completely modernise a site which has historically been very successful for businesses in the region and which has an excellent location with high footfall.

“We have made great progress by securing Screwfix and Topps Tiles for the first two units and we are hoping for similar success with the three new units, which will provide space ranging from 3,000 sq ft to 9,000 sq ft.

“The new units are similar in style to the two which have already been completed and taken up. They will become available in the autumn and will be ready to occupy, in line with our standard commitment to providing turnkey solutions.

“They will have office space, storage space, parking and toilet and kitchen facilities and we expect strong interest from businesses already operating in our region and from others looking to establish a presence here.”
