Wykeland plans welcomed

EUROPARC is on the march once more.
A £3.5-million specualtive development is likely to begin very soon - with developers Wykeland funding the vast amjority of it.
The dual project is being built to stimulate activity on what is a gem in the Grimsby business community.
The first part, a bid to interest major manufacturers, could see a mas of jobs created should the site interest a major name. With Grimsby a thriving food cluster with a valuable support network, it could well be seized upon.
The second is a master stroke for growing companies that do not see owning their own property as an essential part of a business plan. It is the next step in the evolution cycle for businesses which now exists upon the site.
Incubation and small office/workshop space has already been created with The Innovation Centre and Pegasus Square units. Now premises between 3,500 and 6,000 sq ft are to be added.
This presents a real opportunity for companies. Not everyone's cup of tea, as it is leased, many businesses do look at keeping the capital costs well down, and this allows for it, with a concentration on production - a vital part of any flourishing firm.
While Wykeland will be the major benefactor as and when the buildings are filled, ultimately so will the community as the quality development attracts more money from elsewhere.
Location is still everything and Immingham's elevation as a port, the logistics and engineering expertise on hand, and the foodtown tag can all help to lure business this way.
