Severfield takes 80,000 sq ft at Malton Enterprise Park

The modular solutions division of the structural steelworks group will relocate to a speculatively-built warehouse at the North Yorkshire estate early next year.

Developed and operated by Harrison Developments, the business park is located next to the A64 York-Scarborough Road.

The team advising Harrison included property consultants Savills, construction consultants Rex Procter, lawyers Schofield Sweeney, 2H Architecture, and business advisor Tim Wilde of BSH consulting.

The York-headquartered company is relocating from its current site in Sherburn, and has been involved in high-profile projects such as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, The Shard, and 22 Bishopsgate.

Overall, occupiers have now taken a total of 250,000 sq ft at the Malton employment park.

Sean Harrison, founder and managing director of Harrison Developments, said: “We were first approached by North Yorkshire Council’s economic development team in November last year.

“It was clear that the modular solutions division of Severfield might have to leave the county if suitable premises couldn’t be found for its expansion.

“We had prime land available on our park and so we were able to help. Geographically and financially, this was a perfect solution for Severfield.

“So, a planning application was submitted to the council in the early part of 2025 and, thanks to a diligent and professional approach from everyone involved, permission was granted in June…

“We have more than 30 acres available which will create more employment and we plan an ecological environment in a large part of the site, which occupiers and their employees can enjoy in their business environment. It will encompass river walks and seating along the River Derwent.”

David Pout, business unit director of Severfield Modular Solutions, said, “The growth and potential we see in the sectors we serve are huge; therefore, having the right facilities to deliver the highest standards for our clients is crucial.

“At Severfield, we pride ourselves on having an industry-leading workforce, and I look forward to seeing our colleagues thrive
in this new working environment.”

Cllr Mark Crane, North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for open to business, said: “One of the strengths of our place shaping and growth team is its facilitating role, helping to match vacant business space with companies looking to expand their current North Yorkshire
operations or set up here for the first time.

“This helps to protect and create jobs and stimulates economic growth.

“We’re proud of the part we’ve played in finding Severfield Modular Solutions a new home within the county and we look forward to the opening of its new premises at Malton Enterprise Park next year.”
