NORTHERN Trust has secured two lettings at its new £4.5m industrial development at Linden Park, Number One Industrial Estate, Consett.

CAV Advanced Technologies Limited has taken occupation of Units 1C and 1D totalling 11,089 sq ft on a ten-year deal.

CAV is involved in the manufacture of aircraft components and is using the space at Linden Park to achieve ground-breaking technical developments.

Bob Glover, of CAV, said: “We have invested heavily in Consett over recent years and we are impressed by the value for money offered by commercial property in the area.

“Our investment in Linden Park shows our ongoing commitment to the area and we are delighted that Northern Trust has developed highquality workspace in Consett which meets our needs.”

1759 Signs Limited recently acquired Unit 3A, a 1,658 sq ft unit on a three-year lease.

This is a new company venture, although the directors have a wealth of experience in all aspects of the signage sector.

Stephen Wilson, director, said: “We are impressed by the quality of the units and their facilities.

“The security features at Linden Park were also a major factor in our decision to locate on the development.

“The fact that the established Number One Industrial Estate is maintained to a high standard projects the right image for our business.”

Anne Campbell, lettings officer at Whittle Jones, agents acting on behalf of Northern Trust, said: “We are delighted to have secured the first two lettings at Linden Park and are confident the scheme will appeal to new and existing occupiers looking to relocate to the area.”

Mark Proudlock, associate at Knight Frank, said: “These lettings illustrate the quality and flexibility of the new workspace available at Linden Park, appealing to both new ventures looking to establish themselves and large organisations which demand high-quality accommodation.”
