In the same week, Gent Visick secured the investment sale of a 4,000 sq ft unit at Innovation Square to a private investor. The unit occupied by Northgate Managed Services Limited was recently let on a new 10 year lease.

Matthew Hopkins, investment agent at Gent Visick, commented: “The arrival of an occupier like B&Q is great for the Innovation Square scheme. Securing this letting whilst also completing the first investment sale shows there is still a market for high quality developments in these testing economic times.”

Adam Richardson, Development Manager of Priority Sites, added: “This latest letting in Featherstone is fantastic news and we are delighted that the scheme is having such a positive effect on the local economy by bringing much-needed employers to the area.”
