Business park developer aiming to provide new HQ for expanding firm

UP to 150 jobs could be created on a new business park in  North Yorkshire, it was claimed yesterday.

Developers are looking for a local firm interested in setting up a base on the Escrick Business Park.

Units one and two, at the southern entrance to the park, which is just off the A19 between York and Selby, provide the perfect opportunity for an inward investor, according to York-based developer S Harrison.

Phil Hill from S Harrison said: “While the base for two units are currently in place, the potential is there to combine them into one and for the eventual occupier to influence the design and layout of the building above ground in keeping with the architecture of the rest of the site.

“With an area across two storeys of 11,000 sq ft we estimate that the building could comfortably accommodate 150 people, making it an ideal headquarters for a growing business.”

Unit one provides 6,000 sq ft and unit two offers 5,000sq ft.

Mr Hill estimates that, once designs are agreed, the offices could be ready for occupation in around six months.

He added: “Escrick is a thriving business park and it’s becoming a case of ‘buy now while stocks last’.

“There is no doubt that the market is turning and wise buyers are moving now to secure the space they need to grow their businesses when the upturn comes.”

Escrick Business Park has 14 industrial or warehousing units and 19 two-storey office units.

S Harrison Group is a privately owned development business with a portfolio of projects covering residential, retail, leisure, commercial, industrial, educational and mixed use schemes across the Midlands and the North of England.

Current developments include the renovation of the former Time Offices at Terry’s chocolate factory on Bishopthorpe Road in York and the delivery of the City of York Council’s £32m headquarters.

The S Harrison Group was founded by the late Stanley Harrison in 1952.

S Harrison is in the process of adapting the former Time Office – a 1920s listed building – to accommodate the Harrison Group team and also to provide serviced office accommodation for York’s inward investors.
