Two new tenants complete trade counter development

The Central Park trade counter development in Bridgend has announced two new tenants bringing the site to full occupation.

Pensord Press and Biotec Services International – a PCI company, are the latest companies to take unit space at the industrial park, which is located on Bridgend Industrial estate.

Landlord Robert Hitchins Group appointed commercial agents Herbert R Thomas (HRT) and Knight Frank as joint sales and lettings agents in January 2014.

The latest lettings brings the 22 trade counter unit estate, which extends to approximately 70,000 sq ft, to full occupation.

Operating from a 50,000 sq ft facility near Blackwood, Pensord Press will be creating a new digital printing depot within the 3,800 sq ft unit at Central Park to continue growing its printing business.

Having been a tenant at Central Park since 2007, Biotec Services International, a pharmaceutical services company, will be adding to its existing premises with a new 6,750 sq ft unit following increased demand and an expansion of its services.

Occupying a prominent position on Bridgend Industrial Estate, Central Park is positioned within close proximity to the M4 and is home to tenants including Edmundson Electrical, Plumbase and Cooke & Arkwright.

Furthermore, the former Kimball Electronics facility at the entrance to the estate is currently undergoing a major refurbishment, which will provide additional warehouse and office space to the market to satisfy current demand.

John Jones of HRT, said: “We’re delighted that we have been able to bring the Central Park Trade Counter development to full occupation. Due to its close proximity to the M4 motorway and Cardiff and Swansea, Central Park has appealed to a number of high profile companies.

“It has been an exciting development for us to market and we are now looking to develop more units to satisfy market growth.”

Mark Durand of Robert Hitchins Group, said: “We are extremely pleased with the success we have experienced with the Central Park development, which would not have been possible without HRT commercial and Knight Frank. We have worked with both agents on other developments and have always been impressed with their knowledge and contacts within the commercial market. Being at full occupancy is a great achievement in what has been a challenging market.

Neil Francis of Knight Frank adds “We are now experiencing high volumes of interest in Bridgend for trade counter, warehousing and office properties and we’re confident that we will be announcing further good news stories during 2015.”
