BUILDING, refurbishment, painting and decorating firm, St Anne’s Contractors, has taken 4,000 sq ft of office space on a five-year lease at Maple Court, Whitemoss Business Park, Skelmersdale.

Maple Court was developed by Alderley Edge-based developer, Metier.

St Annes joins occupiers Loaf Creative, Federal Management, Greenhalgh Solicitors and NFU Mutual at the development.

The first phase of Maple Court was completed in 2010 and provides occupiers with sustainable, energy-efficient space in a landscaped environment.

Andrew Hine, of Métier, said: “St Anne’s Contractors is another fantastic occupier for Maple Court and its commitment to the scheme further endorses the quality of the offering and environment that has been created.”

Available to either purchase or let, the first phase of development at Maple Court provides self-contained buildings ranging from 2,000 sq ft to 4,000 sq ft.

It was designed by architects Leach Rhodes Walker and constructed by Skelmersdale-based CPUK.

The second phase of Maple Court has planning consent for another 25,000 sq ft of office accommodation.

GVA and WHR are joint agents on the scheme.
