NORTH WEST PROJECTS MAKE IT A HAT TRICK AT ACKHURST BUSINESS PARK

29th December 2010

North West Projects Ltd has taken a new 6 year lease at Levens House. At the same time they have renegotiated their existing lease on their Head Quarters, Kensington House, so that their term now runs for 6 years. Along with the 2 year agreement on Balmoral House, North West Projects are the largest occupier on site with 10,890 sq ft of floorspace.

Frank Dalton – NWP Managing Director is enthusiastic about the additional premises “We are an Engineering Design Consultancy and have grown from 20 to over 100 staff in the past 4 years. Ackhurst has provided an excellent platform for this expansion.

The estate is very convenient for local amenities and ensures we maintain a highly professional image. Our team are clearly very happy with the location.”

Ackhurst Business Park is one of Lancashire’s premier business locations, covering over 83,000 sq ft and home to 17 businesses employing more than 450 people cumulatively. The estate incorporates a range of modern detached office buildings, available on a suite by suite basis or own front door. These buildings are set in fully maintained landscaped grounds and have been designed to a high specification. The estate benefits from generous parking and on site security. With Classic Lodges move from Levens House to part of the first floor in Conway House there are currently only 3 suites available on the estate.

Richard Wharton of King Sturge, newly appointed joint agents acting on behalf of Northern Trust on the scheme added “Ackhurst Park continues to maintain it’s position as the location of choice in the area for forward thinking companies seeking quality office space with good on site parking & nearby amenities at competitive rentals. Even in the current economic climate we are seeing a good level of interest from occupiers & the fact that we have only three suites available at present speaks for itself.”
