Property company is a Shooting Star
retained as long-term investments.
The company, run by brothers Jimmy and Edward Marshall, who grew up in Huddersfield, is constructing the £3m Bridge Business Park at Colne Bridge Road, Huddersfield.
The 2.73-acre site stands next to the headquarters of nursery products firm Mamas & Papas and will feature a range of light industrial units.
The firm aims to support the local economy by providing attractive, practical and modern premises for small to medium-sized businesses.
Jimmy said: “As a Town supporter and Huddersfield resident I feel very privileged to win this award.
“It feels amazing to get some recognition for our speculative investment in Huddersfield and I am pleased to be able to support the economy and people of my town.”
Chris Lee, managing director, of Lucas Lee & Partners, said: “It’s fantastic to see Jimmy and Edward doing so well and developing land in Huddersfield into a great industrial estate. It’s particularly pleasing to see them use 90% of local trade and sources. I wish them all the best for the future and with their future ventures in and around the Huddersfield area”
Sean Jarvis, commercial director at Huddersfield Town, said: “It was a pleasure to meet Jimmy and Edward and hear about their project in Huddersfield at the Colnebridge site.
“It just goes to show what an attractive area Huddersfield is to new business with easy accessible links via the M62 and M1, Huddersfield is a vibrant area and its work like this undertaken by Frank Marshall Estates, that can only benefit the local economy.” UILDERS, electricians, carpenters and plumbers across Kirklees are invited to compete for national honours.
The competition to find Britain’s Top Tradesperson 2018 is now under way – with the winner taking away not only the coveted title but also a brand new Mitsubishi L200 Warrior pick-up truck worth £33,000.
The annual competition is organised by building trade materials retailer Screwfix, which has stores at Albert Street in Lockwood and Leeds Road in Huddersfield and at Wilton Street, Dewsbury.
Top tradespeople will face off in a regional heat where 10 finalists from across the UK be chosen.
They will head to Wembley Stadium for the national final in July, where they will compete in front of a judging panel consisting of industry experts.
Last year’s winner was Lluis Dalmau, owner of LCD Heating and Gas Services, based at Clydebank, Scotland.
Entries are open until June 3, 2018, with regional finalists selected and competing later that month.
