Warrington’s largest office deal so far this year took place at MEPC Birchwood Park, as Electricity North West Ltd (ENW) relocates its Warrington headquarters at Bridgewater Place which is now over 95% let. An occupier at MEPC Birchwood Park since 2007, the owner of the region’s electricity network is moving into 15,300 sq ft premises at our award winning flagship development.
Said Phil O’Brien, Property Manager at ENW: “Birchwood Park has worked well for the business since it moved here. The move to Bridgewater Place will provide modern and efficient floorspace at a price that reflects current property market conditions.
”Added Jonathan Black of MEPC Birchwood Park: “We are delighted to have worked with ENW in this relocation. We are very proud of our levels of customer retention, it is something we work hard to achieve, and the variety of space at Birchwood Park means that we are able to be creative and flexible in terms of occupational requirements.”
The deal reflects a continuation of the deals success achieved by the Park in 2008, when it let 160,000 sq ft of space over 50 deals. December 2008 was one of MEPC Birchwood Park’s most successful months ever, when 66,887 sq ft of space was let across 11 deals.
The deal is the latest stage in the growing energy community at the park. To date more than 20 occupants work in or service the nuclear sector alone, including Rolls Royce, UKAEA, Serco Assurance, Amec Nuclear and Nuvia.
ENW is the latest in a long line of big names to relocate to Bridgewater Place, including Rolls-Royce, the Department of Work & Pensions, UKAEA, Vestas Celtic, David Wilson Homes and GB Oils.
