New Southam business park is already a sell-out

All 21 units on the 24,000 sq ft development have now been sold or let and some companies have already moved in, said Simon Hain, a director of ehB Commercial.

He said: “Insight Park has been a great success, especially when you consider the economic conditions over the last few years. We sold more than half the scheme off plan at the beginning and now all the remaining units and plots have gone too. This is real evidence of the positive movement in the small business unit sector.

“There are still six units left to build - and the whole scheme will be completed by September.”

One of the latest companies to move in is the PDS group, which includes Production Design & Supply (PDS), PD Seating and Toolbay UK. The group was launched in 2000 after a management buyout by joint managing directors Allan Ballard and Jon Hadfield.

The main company, PDS, are specialist consultants, designers, suppliers and installers of manual production & assembly line equipment for blue chip companies operating in, among other fields, medical, aerospace, military and automotive. Clients include Siemens, Nokia, BAE Systems and Varian.

Mr Ballard said: “We pride ourselves in thinking outside the box and coming up with truly innovative, yet simple, solutions for blue chip companies looking to improve their manual production and assembly lines.”

Another company within the group, PD Seating, designs and manufactures a range of high quality ergonomic industrial and commercial seating.

“We were based on the Warwick House Industrial Park at Southam,” said Mr Hadfield, “but this suits us much better. It’s a very modern park and the buildings and facilities are excellent.”
