MEPC and Your Housing Group Build Success at Birchwood Park

Your Housing Group and MEPC Birchwood Park, Warrington, have agreed the region’s first pre-let deal for 2013. Your Housing Group, one of the UK’s largest social housing providers, has signed an agreement to develop a new 35,000 sq ft head office at the award winning business estate.

The development will become the group’s new head office, accommodating around 300 members of staff and providing a convenient central location for the group which owns and manages property across the North West, Midlands and Yorkshire.

Brian Cronin, Chief Executive of Your Housing Group, said: “We are very excited to have found a new permanent home and are delighted to be working with Birchwood Park’s onsite management team. Birchwood Park’s central location is the ideal choice in bringing our group together, and its transport connections are vital for helping us manage our properties across the region.”

Jonathan Walsh, MEPC Birchwood Park’s Managing Director, said: “Your Housing Group’s decision to establish their new head office at Birchwood Park is testament to the quality of our location, facilities and the community atmosphere provided at the park. Together, this forms the best solution to the Group’s needs.

“Birchwood Park will give Your Housing Group access to motorway links, a car share scheme, a free bus between the park and the train station and plenty of incentives to encourage cycling to work.

“Your Housing Group will join a growing list of companies who have discovered that they can expect more from us at Birchwood Park; more than just an office to rent. We believe that people are more productive in a positive and healthy environment. Having a range of cafes, on-site gym, restaurant and meeting rooms at The Centre means our occupiers have a reason to get away from their desks at lunch time whether it is to grab a Starbucks, go for a run, meet with friends or watch a film at our weekly movie night.”

The Centre is home to Birchwood Park’s restaurant, meeting rooms and 150 seat auditorium, reducing the need for occupiers to build meeting rooms and large kitchen areas into their premises.

This new development follows a successful 2012 for Birchwood Park, in which the park completed the build of the 47,000 sq ft pre-let 305 Bridgewater Place.

Work on building the new Your Housing Group head office will begin in February 2013.

Your Housing Group was formed in April 2012 following the merger of two of the North’s leading housing associations, Manchester based Harvest Housing group and Liverpool based Arena Housing. The group has over 32,000 homes across the North West, Midlands and Staffordshire.
