High demand expected for industrial unit on East Yorkshire business park

ommercial property specialists are expecting high levels of interest in large industrial space which has come onto the market at one of East Yorkshire’s premier business parks. The letting of 136,000 sq ft of industrial space at the Dianthus Business Park, in Newport, is being handled by commercial property specialists Garness Jones, who have supported the continued growth of the development since 2020.

It is being marketed six months ahead of its availability, in May 2023, on behalf of owners who established the business park back in 2010. JZ Flowers was the first on site when the company consolidated three productions sites in Hull into one purpose built, state-of-the-art production facility.

The park, which is made up of large, modern warehousing, packaging, manufacturing and distribution facilities, has been expanded on a number of occasions since.

It was twice expanded to accommodate the further growth of JZ Flowers, as it has specialised in the supply of flowers and plants to large retailers in the UK and overseas. Dianthus has also since become home for a wide range of successful tenants from different industries, including QwikFlowers, SuperFlora, Royal Lemkes Ltd, William Jackson Food Group, FlamePro and Paneltex.

David Garness, managing director of Hull-based Garness Jones, says he has been delighted to see the site ‘thriving’ due to continued investment, and believes exciting times lay ahead given recent deals and negotiations with new and prospective tenants, and with plans for further future expansion.

Stonegate Precision Tooling Ltd, a market leader in providing innovative high performing tooling to Stone Fabricators, also recently let a 42,000 sq ft facility to become the latest tenants on site, in a deal they say will ‘bring the whole operation team together under one roof, including adding a technical, testing and training centre.’

“Dianthus Business Park is one of the standout industrial developments not only in our locality, but a across Yorkshire, and it has proved an ideal location to house some of our region’s most successful businesses,” said Mr Garness.

“We look forward to supporting the owner in the continuing development of this impressive business site, which has the ability to not only offer space for growing businesses already established and operating in our region, but also to attract inward investment, and new business names to our region, given the many advantages the site boasts for ambitious companies.”

Dianthus Business Park boasts a highly visual and prominent location on the M62, fantastic transport links to major UK motorways and within easy access to York, Hull and Leeds, and close to Humberside airport, and Hull docks
