East Yorkshire business park expands to create dozens of new local jobs

The next phase at Broadhelm Business Park in Pocklington is due to go ahead, with the construction of seven new high specification warehouses, trade counters, and industrial units, creating dozens of new local jobs.

Broadhelm Business Park is a 22-acre development by the Broadhelm Venture, a joint venture between York based property company, Helmsley Group and East Riding based Broadvale Developments

Manor Court is the latest phase of the development and will provide seven new units, which will range from approximately 3,000 sq ft up to 20,000 sq ft. Construction will commence in Spring 2022 and will be completed towards the end of the year.

Phase one of Broadhelm Business Park saw the opening of the roundabout on the York to Hull Road (A1709), along with the construction of a new Shell Service Station, Starbucks, and KFC drive-thrus, as well as two new trade units for operators Howdens and Home-Fit UK.

The second phase, called Helmsley Court, comprises eight starter units ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 sq ft and all units were sold off plan. The units within Manor Court are all available on both a leasehold and freehold basis and are being marketed by Gent Visick (GV) and Procters.

Jonathan Atkinson, from Broadvale Developments, commented: “Broadhelm Business Park has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after mixed-use developments in a highly prominent location between York and Hull.

“We are now delighted to announce the next phase is due to start on this exciting development, which will attract new businesses to the area and create many more jobs.”

Paul Mack, director at GV, added: “Early indications are extremely encouraging for the next phase of Broadhelm Business Park. We have already received strong interest from several national trade counter operators, as well as local companies, so in line with the previous phase, we’re aiming to let or sell all seven units prior to their completion.”
