Rescue 2 plumps for Doncaster

The firm, a specialist in confined space rescue work and training, will base its Northern headquarters in a 13,000 sq ft unit at Jubilee Park.

Originating in Sussex, the firm said the new base will give it national provision for its 24/7 services.

Jubilee Park was built alongside Platinum Park by developer Priority Space in partnership with HG Sites, to satisfy the growing demand for smaller industrial occupiers in the region.

Half of the scheme’s units are now under offer, let or sold, leaving eight units remaining from 1,759 sq ft to 29,790 sq ft.

Rescue 2 joins PPE provider Skanwear which in February upsized its operations in South Yorkshire with a move to a 16,000 sq ft unit at Jubilee Park, plus other occupiers Jones Electrical, Dynamic CCTV and Assured Group.

Ashley Goodlad, head of commercial operations at Rescue 2, said: “With sites in both the South and the North, we are strategically positioned to elevate our services across all regions. Our dual presence allows us to scale our services to meet corporate demands on a national level.

“We set the required gold standard across the industry. Our can-do attitude, ability to scale up with quality and provide bespoke, necessary rescue, utilities, training, and management provision, can now be offered to clients across the country.”

Jubilee Park sits alongside sister development Platinum Park which provides 13 industrial units, ranging in size from 1,750 sq ft to 5,800 sq ft. Both stand adjacent to the fully-occupied Avro Park, completed by Priority Space in 2019.

Knight Frank is marketing both schemes. The agency’s Kitty Hendrick said: “There is little availability of small to mid-sized industrial units across South Yorkshire, and Platinum and Jubilee Park address the demand for units of this size across the region whilst creating jobs and boosting the local economy.”

Priority Space director Lee Buchanan said: “These new units are very well-placed in Doncaster with excellent connections and provide businesses with the space and facilities they need to expand and invest in growth. We are also delighted at the news that lease negotiations are underway on Doncaster Sheffield Airport and that the airport could be reopened in 2024/25, which would provide a huge boost to the local economy.”
