String of new signings at business park includes theatre company

A NORTH Yorkshire business park is celebrating a raft of new deals.

Harrison Developments, the owners and developers of Malton Enterprise Park, revealed that new arrivals include Puddleducks Children’s Nursery, the Pebblechild charity, No Limits Cycling and the theatre and entertainment company Be Amazing Arts.

Existing occupiers Bella di Notte, Aquapoint and The Chef ’s Choice have moved into new business units on the park.

In addition, a number of other bespoke units on the 180,000 sq ft site, ranging from 2,000 sq ft upwards, have been sold to private investors.

In all, occupiers from a wide range of business sectors have taken a combined total of 100,000 sq ft at Malton’s employment park.

Sean Harrison, managing director, said: “These new deals are a tremendous vindication of the substantial investment we have made in our park.

“More than 180 new and sustainable jobs have been created on site, which makes us very proud.”

He added: “These are not the easiest of times, as we slowly emerge from a global pandemic into a worrying cost-of-living crisis but the current level of activity at our park gives us confidence for the future.”

Be Amazing Arts has relocated from Showfield Road in Malton. Since 2019, the company has been involved with theatre productions, including youth theatre and creative-arts workshops.

Operation director Natalie Aconley said: “Our previous premises were next door to a very busy road, which was a worry as we work extensively with children.

“Here we are safe and secure. We have also been able to transform our new premises into the ideal office, rehearsing and performance space.”

Mr Harrison added: “We have a further 100,000 sq ft of quality employment land at the park, available on a design-and-build basis. We will build speculatively and will either sell or lease the new units.

“These units will be single or two-storey commercial buildings, which will be designed with maximum flexibility.”
