Property consultancy Myddelton & Major has been instructed to market the Bluestone Centre units either for sale or letting.

Myddelton & Major Partner Philip Holford said: “This exciting new development presents small businesses with an excellent opportunity to establish themselves and grow at the region’s best located business park.

“I am sure there will be a tremendous amount of interest in the units, which will be built to a high specification and situated close to established facilities on the Business Park.

“It is a significant mo18985-the-bluestone-centre-mapment for Wiltshire as it is the first new business centre development at Solstice Park since the Beacon Centre in 2005.

“This is excellent news for the local economy as jobs are likely to be created and also for businesses which have been seeking suitable premises without success.

“Groundworks on the site have already started and we are set for a fast build on this project with the units ready for occupation by Spring 2017.”

Nationwide Engineering Operations Director Tim Evans said: “This area has been crying out for a new-build business park for some time and we felt the opportunity to develop Bluestone was too good to miss.

“The South Wiltshire area offers excellent employment prospects with 131,630 people of employment age within a 30-minute drive and we know demand for purpose-built, modern commercial units has been outstripping supply.”
