Mullbry Business Park

Monday, 1 December 2008

 

A Shropshire MP has praised the opening of a prestigious business park built by McPhillips saying that it will give a boost for businesses and employment in the Midlands.
 
Owen Paterson, a member of the Shadow Cabinet, urged companies from across the Midlands to visit Mullbry Business Park in Whitchurch.
 
Cutting the tape to officially open the new park, he said: “At such a time of national financial crisis, it is tremendous news that Mullbry Business Park is opening, giving both new and existing businesses the chance to operate from top class premises.
 
“This is a great boost for enterprise and wealth creation in North Shropshire and I would urge businesses far and wide to visit Mullbry Park to see just what it has to offer them."

North Shropshire District Council also welcomed the investment in a future “thriving business community.”
 
Councillor Marilyn Patrick said it “addressed the need” for employment in the area, would create more jobs and reduce the need for travelling long distances to find work by the town’s growing population.
 
“Whitchurch has seen steady industrial development in recent years and enquiries for premises throughout the district continue to increase. We are confident that Mullbry Business Park will prove very successful and we hope to see a thriving business community at the site shortly,” said the councillor who is Portfolio Holder for Development Strategy at North Shropshire District Council.
 
The business park, built on a five acre field, has easy access to the A41 and A49 roads and a range of buildings able to be tailored to individual business needs. The units are suitable for a range of businesses such as a showroom, trade counter, light manufacturing, industrial storage and office use.
 
Developer Peter McPhillips said: “They are built to the latest environmental and building regulation standards and range from 5,000sq ft to 22,000sq ft with a flexible internal layout for the requirement of each individual business. We expect the business park to eventually grow to 80,000 sq ft of business units.”
