North Yorkshire ventilation specialist set for expansion with plans approved for new HQ

A ventilation systems manufacturer based in North Yorkshire has been given planning approval for new headquarters.

EnviroVent has announced that its planning application for new premises on a 75,000 sq ft business park at Burley Bank Road in Harrogate, has been approved.

Based in Hornbeam Business Park, EnviroVent specialises in manufacturing ventilation equipment for homes and social housing, and employs more than 230 people.

Plans will see the creation of a new base, comprising almost 17,000 sq ft of office space, over 13,000 sq ft for the assembly of ventilation products and over 30,000 sq ft of storage space.

EnviroVent’s managing director, Andy Makin, commented: “This is fantastic news and will really give our business a tremendous boost.

“The new premises will make us so much more efficient, by operating on one single purpose-built site, which should bring numerous benefits for staff and customers.

“Community is really important to us and with the new premises we are showing our commitment to investing in our future here in Harrogate.

“We hope to be able to create even more local employment at the new premises, which will become a flagship facility in the UK for the very best ventilation solutions.”

Daniel Martin, director of Teakwood Developments, the developer involved on the project, added: “We are very pleased that the planning application at Burley Bank Road has been approved.

“We now look forward to being able to move forward with the exciting plans that EnviroVent has for the new building.”
