Work starts on new development at Wellingborough's Leyland Trading Estate

This latest phase will deliver an additional 20,375 sq ft of industrial space, arranged across 10 new units.

The new units, arranged in two terraced blocks, will range in size from 538 sq ft up to 3,294 sq ft and have been designed to suit a wide variety of business needs.

This development adds to the existing, diverse offering at Leyland Trading Estate, which currently comprises 211,544 sq ft across 96 individual units, with accommodation ranging from small workshops to larger warehouse units of up to 15,995 sq ft.

The new units will not only modernise the estate further but are also expected to generate new job opportunities locally and support the continued economic growth of the region.

This marks the latest step in the estate’s evolution, building on the success of the last new build phase completed in 2018, which saw strong demand and swift take-up from local businesses.

Mike Grindrod, director at Northern Trust Company Ltd, said: “We are delighted to see work commence on this next phase of development at Leyland

Trading Estate.

"The strong uptake from our 2018 scheme confirmed the demand for modern, flexible industrial space in this area.

"This next phase reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in our estates and the communities around them, creating space where businesses can thrive and grow.”

Caroline Jones, regional property manager for the Midlands at Northern Trust, added: “Our Midlands portfolio now extends to over 1.3 million sq ft across 32 estates and more than 830 units.

"Leyland Trading Estate remains one of our flagship locations, and this latest development reaffirms its importance within the Northern Trust portfolio.

"With a wide range of unit sizes on offer — from small workshops to larger warehouse units — the estate offers great flexibility to accommodate

businesses of all types and sizes.”
