I
t was once famed as a giant television
manufacturing site – but now Mandale
Business Park has switched channels to
offer premises to a wide and ever-increasing
range of businesses.
The park’s owners are keen to attract
more growing firms from across the region
keen to take advantage of the state-of-the-
art facilities – including a forthcoming
distribution unit.
A £20m investment from one of the
North-East’s leading commercial property
developers, the Mandale Group, has
transformed what was once the base for a
2,500-strong LG Philips workforce.
The diverse range of businesses who
now call it home include signage specialists
Orgatex, forklift truck experts Cathedral, van
rental firm Herd Hire, charity Age UK, floral
foam specialists Smithers-Oasis and SAS
Autoparts.
But there’s plenty more room for
ambitious businesses looking for the perfect
premises.
Mandale Business Park features a
combination of fully refurbished, state-of-
the-art industrial units and modern office
space.
And Mandale is now marketing a high-
spec distribution unit of more than 55,000 sq
ft including 3,000 sq ft of office space.
With dimensions ranging from 2,700 sq
ft to much larger spaces, all units have been
“future-proofed” by Mandale, with their
property specialist Joe Darragh explaining:
“We’ve designed all the units with energy
efficiency in mind, ensuring we keep
running and maintenance costs low.
“Each of the units have had new roofs and
walls installed, while we’ve also created new
car parks to ensure there’s plenty of space for
staff and visitors outside every property.
“These are hi-tech facilities, as good as
you’ll find anywhere – warm, insulated units
with high-quality lighting.
“What we’ve done for firms who’ve already
taken units is work closely with them to
understand their requirements and ensure
they get exactly what they want.”
Situated two miles east of the city of
Durham, the park sits within a well-
established commercial zone, boasting easy
access to the A1 (M).
A basement unit is also available, suitable
for up to 288 vehicles or a general storage
facility for the retail industry.
For more information or to arrange a
viewing, call Joe Darragh on 07973 908599
or email [email protected].
The distribution centre now available at
