Harworth Group has let circa 40,400 sq ft to global life sciences and diagnostics company Calibre Scientific at R-evolution 4 – its recently completed business space development.
The company has signed a 10-year lease on Units 11A and 11B, which forms part of the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham and will be used to provide products and solutions to support the global life science industry. Calibre Scientific already occupies more than 10,000 sq ft at AMP.
Jonathan Haigh, chief investment officer at Harworth Group, said: “This letting demonstrates our ability to support business growth, as Calibre Scientific adds to its existing presence on the AMP by expanding into newly developed space at R-evolution 4. Together we are realising the vision and benefits to the region of enlarging this established vibrant cluster demonstrating the powerful role of the AMP as a centre of excellence for advanced manufacturing, science and innovation in the UK.
“We’ve experienced strong demand from occupiers for our high specification R-evolution 4 scheme, with half of the available space now let and positive discussions ongoing with additional prospective occupiers.”
Andy Wright, head of manufacturing at Calibre Scientific, added: “Calibre Scientific are delighted to expand our presence on the AMP, since first setting up on the park in 2022. The leasing of these new state-of-the-art units allows us to significantly expand our operations and build our global presence, while cementing our position as one of the UK’s leading and fastest growing life science providers.
“Focusing our expansion within the AMP, demonstrates our commitment to the region, and plans to build a life science campus, achievable through our successful partnership with the Harworth Group and other local business providers.”
Harworth was advised by Knight Frank and CPP.
