The New Year can start with new premises that solve the problem of balancing overhead costs and creating a professional image, through an innovative approach to commercial property letting.

Willan Investments, one of the North West's most progressive development companies, is now offering new-build high quality rental units at its Woodrow Business Centre in Irlam, Manchester, from as low as £165/week for 1370 sq ft, on as short as a three year lease.

The Woodrow Business Centre incorporates seven two-storey hybrid units up to 5,215 sq ft and four single storey workshop units each of 1370 sq ft. The hybrid units are claimed by Willan and tenants alike to be unique in the Manchester area in their combination of new, purpose-built office: warehouse/workshop facilities. Tenants already include the award-winning RCM Marine which develops and produces maritime plant monitoring systems and Mitten Asbestos, specialist asbestos removal consultant and contractor.

Toby Holmes, Willan Investments Management Surveyor, observes, “Small companies are always focusing on their overhead costs, trying to assess how much they can afford to spend on rent. Too often in the commercial property market, tenants have to commit to a minimum 10 year lease, and find that before that time expires, their needs have changed: they need more space, less space, different space, better quality space….How many business people can predict with any conviction where their company will be in three years' time, let alone in ten years hence?

“We have an ethos of trying to work with tenants to enable them to focus on their business and succeed. Woodrow Business Centre has been purpose-developed with this in mind, to give the region quality premises of a type that just isn't available, on terms which suit tenants.”

Willan Investments is part of the Willan Group. Founded in the 1930s and still family-owned, the company is now one of the most progressive regional commercial development companies, applying innovative thinking to develop solutions to give businesses the accommodation they need, where they need it, and within realistic budgets.
