Work now completed on 150,000 sq ft Thorne Park scheme in Doncaster

Henry Boot Developments (HBD) has announced the completion of its 20-acre Thorne Park scheme in Doncaster.

The final plot of land has been acquired in a freehold sale by franchisee company, QFM Group, which operates brands such as Costa Coffee, KFC, Taco Bell and Anytime Fitness.

Thorne Park comprises over 150,000 sq ft of industrial and warehouse space located at Junction 6 of the M18.

HBD secured a £6.45m grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERFF) to enable the delivery of the final phase and has since worked closely with Business Doncaster to market the scheme to potential occupiers.

Tenants now include Furniture Village, Stuncroft, Boxes and Packaging, and Purex.

Vivienne Clements, director at Henry Boot Developments, said: “This final land sale completes what has proven a very successful scheme, involving the transformation of a brownfield site into the thriving mixed-use development it is today.

“We are pleased to have been able to bring the site forward with the help of ERDF funding and the ongoing commitment of Business Doncaster. The scheme has been a real catalyst for the creation of new jobs in the area and is a valuable asset to Thorne and its local economy.”
