Hollis Hockley and Clare & Co Advise on Industrial Property Deals at the LDL Business Centre, Ash Vale, Surrey, UK

A new business centre in the Blackwater Valley is rapidly becoming a key location for innovative businesses and entrepreneurs, generating new employment opportunities for the local community, according to the agents Hollis Hockley and Clare & Co.

Ash Vale, United Kingdom, October 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The LDL Business Centre in Station Road West, Ash Vale, Surrey, UK was conceived and designed to provide modern and adaptable accommodation, at affordable rents, suitable for a number of industrial, R&D and warehousing functions, with ancillary offices. Following completion of the development nine small and medium sized enterprises have taken occupation and only four of the 13 industrial and business units remain available.

The remaining units extending to 1,710 sq ft and 1,900 sq ft are available on flexible lease terms at an initial rent equating to only £5.00psf for the first 18 months.

David Savage of letting agent Clare & Co says: “The LDL Business Centre has proved highly popular with a wide variety of occupiers, attracted by the flexible terms and adaptable nature of the properties and it is a testimony to the success of the scheme that we now only have four units left.”

Joint letting agent Jon Hollis, of Hollis Hockley in Farnborough, adds: “The LDL Business Centre is positioned to take advantage of the excellent communications in the area – essential to so many businesses. The A331 Blackwater Valley Route is within a quarter of a mile of the scheme providing easy access to central London the M3, A31 and A3.”

One of the first occupiers at LDL Business Centre was Britcar Ltd who opened its HQ in November 2009. Britcar is involved in motorsport and events and is the organisation behind the Britcar 24 hour endurance race at Silverstone and the internationally-acclaimed championships for GT and Touring cars. The Britcar 24 Hour race 2010 will take place in early October.

Britcar’s James Tucker says: “The properties at LDL Business Centre are ideal for our use and the support and back-up we have received from the landlord is second to none.”

One of Britcar’s near neighbours at the development is PAA Ltd, the Farnborough based laboratory automation specialist. PAA provides state-of-the-art automation and measurement technology to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and recently outgrew its engineering facility at its Farnborough HQ.

PAA’s Mike Collins explains: “The continuing expansion of our business required us to look for additional accommodation in the general area. The properties at LDL Business Centre were ideal from a locational perspective and provided us with the opportunity to invest in a new state of the art engineering facility - increasing our manufacturing capacity.”

LDL Business Centre has been successful in attracting a wide variety of occupiers – not all of them in the traditional business sectors. Eco Roofing Services, which occupies 1,910 sq ft of office and production space on the development, supplies “green roofing” to the public and private sectors right across the UK.

The company’s Kevin Nelson explains the growth in this environmentally friendly building material: “Green roofs are basically roofs where, instead of having tiling or felt as the outside layer, a mat consisting of either sedum or other succulents, grasses or moss is the visible layer. Underneath the living mat, a drainage system is installed, bespoke to the particular property. We are now supplying green roofs and materials to schools, hospitals, commercial and residential properties nationwide.”

He adds: “There are many different advantages to green roofs from excellent insulation capabilities, aiding in planning applications to simply looking good! Green roofs are particularly useful at filtering out pollutants from the air and as such, purifying it - ensuring a greater quality of life for everybody.”

Other tenants at LDL Business Centre include: AES Rewinds, BTU Europe Ltd, Sapphire Blue (clothing specialist), Jewel Windows Ltd, Ice Machines UK Ltd and Refreshing Group Ltd; all of whom have taken the advantage of these new units at an attractive discounted rent.
