Global courier chooses growing West Yorkshire business park for new UK depot

A global courier has become the latest business to join a growing business park in West Yorkshire.

Deltec International Courier has taken a unit at South Kirkby Business Park in Pontefract as part of its ongoing expansion.

Carter Towler and AWS negotiated the letting of Unit 4A Data Drive in South Kirkby Business Park to the courier, on behalf of the developer Marshall CPD.

The courier specialist, which has 10 offices across the UK and operates in over 200 countries, has signed a new nine-year lease for the 13,600 sq ft depot.

AWS’ Nick Arundel commented: “It’s great that Deltec International has chosen to open another branch and we’re sure they will flourish here.

“The business park is attracting a lot of interest, we have also just agreed the sale of Unit 8 which is 20,000 sq ft and we will be announcing more deals very shortly I’m sure.”

Hazel Cooper of Carter Towler added: “Despite the challenges brought about by the current COVID-19 situation, Marshall CDP have made excellent progress speculatively developing this business park.

“We are extremely pleased to see how well the scheme as a whole is progressing. The significant Enterprise Zone financial incentives, coupled with the high quality construction values and great location, are proving to be particularly attractive for companies looking for industrial space in the region.”
