Article posted: 27 Sep 2011

In the space of one month, property consultant GVA has brought five thriving firms to prime business park office space in North and West Yorkshire.

The Office Team at Leeds-based GVA has worked with real estate specialists Frogmore Property to secure a 15 year lease on office space in Wakefield at 6 Flemming Court in Glasshoughton, Castleford. Swedish bank Handelsbanken, which has more than 100 branches in the UK, has taken on the 1,650 sq ft property at Flemming Court to use it as a satellite office for clients to meet its bank managers.

In separate deals, GVA attracted three businesses Laserprint Limited, SureCare Community Services (Scarborough) and insurance brokers Bluefin to office space at Scarborough Business Park (pictured).

The firms now occupy Units 17 and 4A of the Manor Court office complex joining HSBC, Handelsbanken, Practical Network Solutions and NFU Mutual at the seaside town's only dedicated B1 business park. The deals were secured for the business park's owners Gladman Development in partnership with joint agents PPH Commercial and Iain Simpson and Co.

Meanwhile, GVA has also let Unit 6 in Navigation Court at Calder Park in Wakefield to Boston Healthcare Ltd on a five year lease.

Dan Hodge, associate in GVA's Office Team, said: "Prime office space in Yorkshire's premier business parks remains an attractive proposition and such opportunities undoubtedly exist at these sites in Wakefield and Scarborough. GVA continues to work with partners to deliver good deals for both developers and businesses in this tough economic climate."
