Hull business park concept expands into East Yorkshire with new site

A Hull property developer has announced that it is aiming to create a new branch of its business park concept with the acquisition of a new site.

Allenby Commercial has completed the acquisition of a Driffield brownfield site to create a new Trade Yard, with sites already in Willerby, Beverley and Scunthorpe.

The Beverley and Scunthorpe sites are now fully let, with brands such as Screwfix, Tool Station and Eurocell taking space at the schemes.

Works are expected to start in the coming weeks on the construction of four units on the Driffield site.

Paul Swallow, contracts manager at Allenby Commercial, said: “The Trade Yard sites at Beverley and Willerby have both benefited from being in established, good quality industrial locations which are also close to substantial residential areas with a lot of new-build.

“Willerby is next to some major roads and a very busy shopping park. There’s no doubt the footfall at the site has been a key factor in attracting some big, national brands so quickly and creating nearly 30 jobs.

“Screwfix only opened at the beginning of May and now we have just one unit available.

“Driffield is a more rural area with a lot of business activity close to our new site – Screwfix already have a site there which gives an idea of the potential for The Trade Yard.

“It’s a thriving part of East Yorkshire and The Trade Yard will bring some high quality units to help drive investment and job creation for the growing local community.”
