First tenant signs up as gates open at M11 Business Link

A two year quest for the ideal business premises came to a successful conclusion for Agar Scientific Ltd, the international supplier of microscopy equipment and consumables, when they took a 6,468 sq ft business unit at M11 Business Link, Stansted this week.
Agar Scientific signed up as soon as the Park opened, making them the founding tenant on this modern mixed use development, offering between 3,204 and 6,613 sq ft of business space and between 3,704 and 8,525 sq ft of office accommodation.
“As a company involved in both UK and International trade, logistics is an important factor for us. This site, with its good access to the airport and M11, has many advantages for us” says Managing Director Steve Woodland. “We looked at other areas, including Harlow, but traffic congestion in that area was an issue, particularly with our staff located in and around Saffron Walden, Bishop's Stortford, Braintree and Stansted itself. We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that whilst we enjoy fast access to the M11 at junction 8, passing traffic noise on the site is relatively minor.”
“The quality of the accommodation was a big factor too. Available business space of the size we wanted tended to be run down units on tired looking trading estates. M11 Business Link presented a striking contrast. It was also important that our parent company, Hartest Holdings plc, felt comfortable that the new site gave us the right platform for our future growth.”
“As a general comment, we felt comfortable with the developers, Frogmore, from the start. We found them responsive to our needs in terms of our specific fit-out requirements, and very professional throughout the whole negotiations”.
“We are delighted to welcome Agar Scientific as the first tenant on the M11 Business Link” adds Jo Allen of Frogmore. “They are precisely the kind of fast growing high-tech company the development was designed for, and their prompt take-up demonstrates that we have got the offer right”.
Altogether, the Park comprises 30 new office and industrial units with immediate availability for freehold or leasehold tenure. All enquires to site agents Barker Storey Matthews 01223 467155 or CBRE 020 7182 2000.
