A further two sites in Faversham and Whitstable are currently being developed and one other in East Kent will come on stream in the near future.
A well known figure within the Kent business community, George Wilson, managing
director of the company, puts its success in East Kent down to providing exactly
what is required by customers, rather than providing just what is available.
To date, the company has created approximately 5,000 jobs in East Kent and this figure is set to rise considerably, when the remaining units at the Lakesview site in Westbere and the new development sites are occupied.
In particular, at the 50 acre Lakesview site at Westbere in Canterbury, there are ten units still available with more under construction. The business park is available for a variety of employment uses including B1/B2 (office and light industrial) and B8 (warehousing and distribution). There are currently around 80 businesses located in the 100 m2 business growth units and at capacity, the site could accommodate in excess of 59,000 m2 of
B1/B2/B8 floor space, generating over 1,700 jobs.
This site is a perfect example of one that has provided local businesses with growth requirements and ideal affordable solutions close to Canterbury. Lakesview’s strategic position in East Kent is reflected by its direct connection to the A28, which lies just 14 miles from the M2 motorway, 23 miles from the port of Dover and 23 miles from the Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone.
George Wilson believes that it won’t be long before the remaining units are filled at any one of the three available sites. Their proximity to city/town centres, in particular Canterbury and the impressive design of the business parks give an overall impression of a quality business location.
Also the offer of a ‘new for old’ service from George Wilson Holdings, where companies can trade in their old unit for a brand new one, is likely to attract even more businesses to its parks, rectifying the problem of the disposal of existing premises.
