Yorkshire business park creates 180 jobs with 12 occupant deals

A Yorkshire business park has announced that a series of new deals has lead to the creation of 180 jobs on site.

Malton Enterprise Park, which is owned by Harrison Developments, reported this morning that it has signed deals with 12 new and existing occupiers in the last three months.

New occupiers include Direct Imaging and Parnabys, while existing tenants Bella di Notte, Aquapoint and Dales The Chef’s Choice are expanding into bespoke new business units on the park.

Other new occupiers include Toolstation, Snug Campers, J.S Graphixx, Neu-Era, The Wooden House, Dogtooth and Timeless Precision Engineering.

In addition, a number of other units on the 180,000 sq ft site, ranging from 2,000 sq ft upwards, have been sold to private investors.

Sean Harrison, managing director of Harrison Developments, commented: “These new deals are a tremendous vindication of the substantial investment we have made in our park.

“More than 180 new and sustainable jobs have been created on site, which makes us very proud. The wide variety of successful businesses here is also an indication of the strength of the economy in Ryedale.

“We are especially pleased that successful Yorkshire businesses such Bella di Notte and Dales The Chef’s Choice are expanding into larger premises on our park, because they like the location and the ambience so much. We have been delighted to accommodate their needs.

“But these new deals are only part of the story. We have a further 100,000 sq. ft of quality employment land at the park, available on a design and build basis. We will build speculatively and can either sell or lease the new units.

“These units will be single or two-storey commercial buildings which will be designed with maximum flexibility to allow a range of uses, including light industrial, offices, general industrial and retail, trade and warehousing. Sizes range from 1,000 sq ft to 50,000 sq ft.”
