Wrest Park
Leading the way in flexibility and agility
Just like their clients, the team at Wrest Park Enterprise have demonstrated a fl exible and agile approach to creating a successful and workable business environment. A new extension has increased the size of the
serviced offi ce business park by 30% and there are plans to have increased that again by the end of the year. T e expansion was fuelled by a healthy take- up of offi ce space from the day the centre opened in 2010, and no let-up in enquiries over the past few months. Group Estates Manager David Taylor said: “Over the past few months businesses have had to adapt
40
to new ways of working and new ways of thinking. For some, that has meant downsizing because staff are working from home; others don’t know what the future holds and don’t want to enter in to a long lease; some who have always worked from home may have had to fi nd prem- ises because other family members have been forced to do the same. Whatever their reasons, they fi nd that the fl exibility and easy terms we off er are the answer.” Wrest Park Ltd. bought the Enterprise site in Silsoe, formerly an
agricultural college, ten years ago. It off ered 40 buildings over 28 acres, some of which were turned into workshops and warehouses, but one, Enterprise House, was immediately converted into managed offi ce space. Providing 10,000 square feet, available in sizes ranging from one
to 40 desks, Enterprise House proved incredibly popular and within two years a second building, Capability House was opened to provide another 20,000 square feet of offi ce, meeting rooms, coff ee shop and breakout areas. T is month, an extension to Endeavour House has added another 10,000 square feet, of which ten offi ces are already reserved, and before the end of the year a purpose-built centre will provide an additional 22 offi ces. David Taylor said: “We didn’t know at the start what the interest
would be in a business centre when we opened in 2010 but it proved popular from Day 1. Our major selling point is that we provide a rural location, so no town or city centre commute or parking issues, but at the same time we are ideally placed just off the A6, close to Bedford and Luton and within 11 or 12 miles of the M1 and the A1.
