Autumn 2009: Redevelopments are complete on phase 1 of Willows Business Park, Pattenden Lane, Marden in Kent, built by G.G. Tomkinson Ltd.
Phase one of the company’s project began in 2008 to expand its operations and increase capacity by building new warehouses and offices to house its head office and also for existing tenants and potential new clients.
Managing Director Mark Tomkinson said that the total site was 84,530 sq ft. Of this, 23,000 sq ft has already been built; 24,250 sq ft is the first phase; and 37,280 sq ft is the second phase.
“We have just finished the third part of a video, recording the building programme,” said Mr Tomkinson. “This can be seen on our website along with parts one and two.”
The first phase consists of an office building with 3,000 sq ft on the bottom floor, 3,000 sq ft on the next floor and the possibility of another 3,000 sq ft on top. Behind this is another 18,000 sq ft building. The first phase has cost about £3.5 million.
Phase two will expand the site further
down Pattenden Lane, linking the company’s
Marden depots. Both phases have
planning permission, and are part of an
estimated 250,000 sq ft of warehousing
which the company has, mainly around
Marden and Horsmonden. Most of this is
owned by the company, but some is rented
and some is leased.
“We want people from anywhere to take
this space,” said Mr Tomkinson.
“If, for
example, a big European manufacturer
rang tomorrow and said they wanted to
distribute washing machines from Marden
to the South East, then we would say yes.”
Rental levels are open to discussion, so please contact us.
