Winnington Business Park reaches over 90% occupancy with a variety of new operators and retailers

Winnington Business Park hits 90% occupancy! Explore how our flexible spaces support retailers, start-ups, and trade businesses in thriving Northwich.

We’ve now let 90% of the units at Winnington Business Park, our 126,958 sq ft new-build development in Northwich, Cheshire. Made up of industrial, start-up, trade and retail units, our ambition for the park is to provide flexible, purpose-built spaces that enable businesses to thrive.

As part of the development, we’ve worked closely with each of our tenants to ensure their space is fitted out to suit and supports each of their unique growth needs.

Destination Padel is one of the latest tenants to take 18,665 sq ft of space on a 10-year deal. Our development team have been working closely with the business to combine three separate units, with a fit out now taking place to tailor the new space - ready for Destination Padel to open its doors by the end of 2024.

 

Retail businesses all set to move in

Family-run retailer M6 Bed Warehouse and outdoor clothing and equipment manufacturer Equip Outdoor Technologies are two of the retail businesses that will soon call Winnington Business Park home.

We’re proud to have created a thriving retail hub within the business park, with all 11,362 sq ft of retail space now fully let. Now that some stores have opened their doors, it’s great to see the support and interest from locals, as well as those utilising regional transport links to visit from further afield.

 

Space for a new wave of entrepreneurs

To support the next generation of founders, we’ve built 32 units exclusively for start-up businesses. Starting from 821 sq ft, the units benefit from dedicated parking, electric roller doors, customer entrances and LED lighting, as well as a communal courtyard space to facilitate conversation and connection within the business community.

In high demand, all start-up units have now been let to businesses, including confectionary e-commerce retailer PickandMix.com, which moved into Winnington Business Park earlier this year, and an official Hyrox gym, First Space Fitness.

 

Limited trade space still available

The six spaces still available each have their own individual benefits. For example, Unit 50, at the front of the site, comes with road frontage and additional parking, whereas Unit 35 is a detached unit with a dedicated yard.

Ranging from 2,792 sq ft to 9,650 sq ft, the remaining units were created to meet the rising demand for trade counter space, making them ideal for DIY and home improvement businesses.

With a bespoke fit-out service and flexible lease agreements as short as 12 months available, potential occupiers can work closely with our team to tailor their experience at the business park.

 

Tim Knowles, Founder and Managing Director at FI Real Estate Management, said:

“The popularity of Winnington Business Park has blown us away. Located in the heart of Cheshire, close to both the M56 and M6, we’ve created a site suited to a wide range of ambitious occupiers and it’s great to see the park coming to life now, with exciting brands trading from these spaces. 

“Core to our offer is our ability to work with businesses to create flexible spaces to support their growth journeys, offering the opportunity for unit customisation depending on business needs, with the help of our dedicated team at FI Developments. 

“Now that the site has reached completion and tenants are beginning to move in, we’re starting to see a real buzz around the area. From businesses utilising the local transport links and getting deliveries out with their customers, to the public coming on site to enjoy the retail and leisure facilities – this is a great example of a new business park delivering economic value to the region and surrounding areas.” 

 

William Hale, founder at PickandMix.com, added: 

"Moving into one of the brand-new units at Winnington Business Park has been a real catalyst for our growth this year and we’re really pleased with our unit and the ongoing support we’re receiving from FIREM. 

“It has been one of the best investments in our business thus far and it’s exciting to see the new park coming to life as a hub of thriving businesses.”
