Full house in South Kirkby
Developer Northern Trust’s 34,000 sq ft Dale Court industrial scheme is 100% occupied, with 26 businesses now in place at the £4m project.
The final two occupiers signed for their space recently, taking the scheme close to Pontefract to fully let.
Dale Court was part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (now the levelling up fund) and provides 26 units, arranged in three separate terraced blocks, with sizes ranging from 536 sq ft up to 3,372 sq ft.
Team HG was one of the first businesses to move onto the development, taking two adjacent units. The firm specialises in fleet vehicle branding, display items and cladding wraps for buildings.
Gavin Cocliff, director at the firm, said: “The business was formed in 2006 and was originally known as Home Grown Graphics and was run from my father’s garage. Due to the expediential growth of Team HG, the team required more space and in 2023 we decided to make the move to Dale Court.
“This leap was made to future proof the business ad allow us to bring even more work into HQ, completed by a strong team of professionals working alongside each other to produce high- quality solutions.”
Jake Marshall, asset manager at Northern Trust, added “I am delighted that Dale Court has been so well received since it was officially launched in Spring last year.
“Having only been with the company myself since last April, it’s been great to see the development flourish, and have had the opportunity to facilitate each occupier’s individual occupational requirements. The high specification of the units and ideal location has been testament to the scheme’s success.”
The units of 2,200 sq ft+ incorporate integral office space, with each unit benefitting from dedicated parking and good communal circulation space. The development was constructed in line with BREEAM and was designed to be energy-efficient, with 30% of the site being given over to green and blue infrastructure, Northern Trust said.
