YORKSHIRE BUSINESSES EXPAND AT HOWLEY PARK ESTATE

Two Yorkshire businesses have expanded their operations at Howley Park Estate in Morley, taking more than 17,000 sq ft of industrial space at the Logistics Hub development.

Total Resource (UK) Limited has taken 8,586 sq ft at Unit 7, relocating from its previous Leeds depot. The company supplies traffic management and maintenance equipment across the UK and will use the premises as a combined storage, servicing and office facility.

Thermo King UK Limited has relocated from South Kirkby to Unit 6, comprising 8,488 sq ft. The business specialises in the servicing and maintenance of refrigerated units for commercial vehicles and has fitted out the unit to provide workshop space, secure parking and improved customer vehicle handling facilities.

Both businesses cited the estate’s accessibility, extensive yard space and proximity to Junction 28 of the M62 as key factors in their decision to relocate.

Bruce Strachan, Property Director at Pullans, said:

“Demand remains strong for industrial space that can support a range of operational requirements while providing occupiers with the flexibility to grow. It’s particularly positive to see Yorkshire businesses investing in their future and expanding within the region. We’re pleased to welcome both Total Resource and Thermo King UK to Howley Park Estate and look forward to supporting their continued growth from the estate.”

James Proctor, Regional Manager at Thermo King UK, said:

“The new facility has been an excellent fit for our business. The combination of workshop space, secure parking and strong transport links allows us to provide an efficient service for customers across the region.”

Laura Winfield, Area Manager at Total Resource (UK) Ltd, added:

“Howley Park offered the unit size, yard space and connectivity we were looking for as part of our expansion plans. The move provides the capacity and flexibility needed to support the next stage of our growth.”

Howley Park Estate extends to around 170 acres and provides more than 700,000 sq ft of industrial and commercial accommodation, home to a wide range of regional and national occupiers across West Yorkshire.
