For Max’s investment advisor, Prestbury Investments LLP, Ben Walford commented: ”We are thrilled to be bringing another outstanding occupier to Concord, reinforcing it as one of South Manchester’s most attractive and competitive occupational locations. We now turn our attention to refurbishing the final vacant building on the park, the 40,000 sq ft Dakota House, and bringing the space to the market as soon as possible.”
