A STORAGE, removals and van hire company is opening a new facility at an Evesham business park in the spring.

Squab has acquired the freehold of a unit at Asparagus Point, Vale Park, as part of plans to expand the business by opening a third operation in Evesham.

Property company Hortons, which owns Asparagus Point, built the unit on behalf of Squab that currently has facilities in Daventry, near Northampton, and Leamington Spa.

Work has been completed at the site just five months after it originally started.

A further eight units, ranging in size from 3,500 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft, have also been built by Hortons at Asparagus Point. The units are due to be completed by the end of January and will be available to purchase or let, with prices starting from a base cost of £120 per sq ft.

Richard Norgrove, property director at Hortons, said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming Squab.

"As a successful family-run business we’re hoping its presence on the estate will help attract further businesses.

“Once complete, Asparagus Point will deliver in total nearly 40,000 sq ft of industrial space to the market at a time when good quality accommodation is in short supply, particularly smaller units in the area.

“For businesses looking to own their own property, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an industrial unit.”

Tweedale based in the Midlands has been working on Asparagus Point with Hortons' since 2011.

The firm's director of architecture, Michael Bates, said: “The development of this industrial park has been several years in the making, and during that time we are pleased to have formed a great working relationship with Hortons.

“We’re thrilled that this bespoke unit has been completed. It will provide a great working environment for Squab for many years to come.”

An open morning at Asparagus Point is being held on Friday, February 1, followed by an agents’ launch event on Friday, February 8.
