Yorkshire business park expands with new 12,500 sq ft unit

The development of a new 12,500 sq ft unit at a Yorkshire industrial park is the latest in a £25m investment programme by a national firm.

Potter Space has appointed construction firm Lindum Group to build Unit 52 at its industrial park in Ripon, North Yorkshire.

The firm, which has five industrial parks across the country, has chosen the Elvington-based construction firm to deliver the project, with work scheduled for completion in spring 2020.

Jenna Strover, head of commercial delivery at Potter Space, commented: “We are getting an increasing number of enquiries for new units of this size, with good transport links, as they are under-represented in the local market.

“We have therefore decided to build it speculatively, with the potential for a customer to come on board during construction and provide input into the final design, thereby providing them with a bespoke industrial unit to meet their needs.

“We are pleased to have commissioned the Lindum Group for the project. Not only will it boost the local economy, as they are based in Elvington, but like Potter Space it is a family business with an excellent reputation.”

Lindum MD Jonathan Sizer added: “We are delighted to be working on this, our first project for Potter Space at such an exciting time for the group, with the change in its primary focus from haulage to now providing first class logistics and industrial space for local business.”
