ELECTRICITY North West (ENW) is moving into 15,300 sq ft of office space at MEPC Birchwood Park, in Warrington’s biggest letting this year.
The company, which already had a base at the park, is to make the premises – Bridgewater Place – its new headquarters.
It is leaving its smaller premises at Dalton Avenue, where it had a short-term lease.
The deal means MEPC Birchwood Park is now 95% let.
Phil O’Brien, at ENW, said: “Birchwood Park has worked well for the business since it moved here. The move to Bridgewater Place will provide modern and efficient floorspace at a price that reflects current property market conditions.”
The deal reflects a continuation of the deals success achieved by the park in 2008, when it let 160,000 sq ft of space over 50 deals.
December, 2008, was one of MEPC Birchwood Park’s most successful months ever, when 66,887 sq ft of space was let across 11 deals. Jonathan Black, of MEPC Birchwood Park, said: “We are delighted to have worked with ENW in this relocation.
“Occupier retention is something we work hard to achieve, and the variety of space at Birchwood Park means that we are able to be creative and flexible in terms of occupational requirements.”
King Sturge acted on behalf of Electricity North West and MEPC Birchwood Park represented itself in the transaction.
The deal is the latest stage in the growing energy community at the park. More than 20 occupants work in or service the nuclear sector alone, including Rolls-Royce, UKAEA, Serco Assurance, Amec Nuclear and Nuvia.
ENW is the latest in a long line of big names to relocate to Bridgewater Place.
