Construction firm relocates HQ to environmentally-friendly business park in East Yorkshire

Cambridge Construction has relocated into the last available office at Green Park Business Park in Newport, East Yorkshire.

The construction firm, which specialises in civil engineering and commercial and industrial construction, has taken a 900 sq ft office unit at the environmentally-friendly business park.

The three-year deal means all existing office units of the first phase at Green Park are now occupied.

Cambridge Construction joins a wide range of businesses on the park, including public relations agency The PR Company, road surfacing specialist Scientific Roads, J.D. Garage Equipment and park owner and developer, the Horncastle Group PLC.

Louis Bradley, construction director at Cambridge Construction, said there were a number of drivers for the move, but chief among them was the proximity to their parent company, horticultural engineering specialist Cambridge HOK.

Cambridge HOK is based on Wallingfen Park, Main Road, Newport.

Mr Bradley said: “Cambridge Construction started life as a civils company carrying out site preparation and infrastructure work for Cambridge HOK, but since then we have branched out and started working directly for third parties.

“Despite being a fairly young company, we’re already involved in some prestigious projects and we have ambitious plans to double our turnover this year.

“Along with this comes recruitment which means we would have soon grown out of our old base. Green Park Business Park was by far the most obvious solution. Not only does the office give us ample space to grow, it is just across the road from our parent company, so couldn’t be better located.”

Mr Bradley added: “Horncastle were very good to deal with. They were flexible with the lease and with the interior of the office, setting it up to meet our needs.

“It was an easy deal to do which is exactly what we wanted when we’re so focused on growth. It meant everything fell into place quickly, minimising the disruption to our operations team.”

Ian Hodges, managing director of the Horncastle Group PLC, described leasing the final office in the first phase of Green Park as a ‘milestone’ in the business park’s history.

However, he added more offices would be available in the future. He said: “As a young and ambitious company, Cambridge Construction is a fantastic fit for Green Park Business Park so we’re delighted that they have taken the last available office. I hope they will be very happy here and realise their ambitious plans for growth.

“However, with plenty of the site left to develop, I would encourage anyone with office, industrial or warehousing requirement in East Yorkshire to come and speak to us. There is still ample opportunity to be part of Green Park’s ongoing success story.”

Green Park Business Park is a 20-acre, mixed-use business park which was created to give businesses access to accommodation but with low running costs, and includes a 78m, 500KW wind turbine supplied by Emergya Wind Technologies (EWT) UK Ltd.

The first phase was part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund 2007 – 2013.
