Two new lettings available at business park on historic Huddersfield site

Two new lettings have been concluded at Park Valley House, an historic 19th century mill office of Park Valley Business Park in Lockwood, Huddersfield.

The 6,000 sq ft heritage building, which has been converted into office accommodation, is now almost full.

The two new tenants are healthcare business PROHMS Ltd, previously based at Penistone, and XCL Group from Holmfirth.

PROHMS has taken 1,050 sq ft of office space, while recruitment specialists, XCL has taken 1,390 sq ft, leaving only one suite of 510 sq ft still available.

Other occupiers of the three-storey Park Valley House include Alpha UK, Reconnect Psychology Ltd and Park Valley Huddersfield Ltd, the owners and developers of Park Valley House.

Martin Duckett, of Park Valley Huddersfield Ltd, said that he was proud of what had been achieved at both Park Valley House and Park Valley Business Park, where more than 100 sustainable jobs have been created already. Once completed, the park should be home to hundreds of employees.

Sandra Babbings of PROHMS, said: “We are celebrating our 15th anniversary this year. I founded the company in 2003 and we are now a 26-strong team that has supported an estimated 4,000 employees during this time.

“Recognising the diverse needs of clients, we employ a cohort of extremely talented, friendly professionals, including nurses, occupational health physicians and physiotherapists - to name just a few.

“Our mission is to enhance and maintain the health and wellbeing of the county’s workforces. Without a doubt, the passion, talent and dedication of our colleagues has proven integral to us consistently achieving this goal.”

Meanwhile, swimming pool company, Concept Pools Ltd - relocating from Golcar, near Huddersfield - has taken 2,000 sq ft of warehouse space with offices at the 13.5-acre Park Valley Business Park, adjacent to Park Valley House.

The park, which features 18 brand-new industrial units with office and storage space, is now completely full.

Sarah-Jayne Lishman, of Leeds property consultancy Dove Haigh Phillips, concluded: “Park Valley House offers magnificent character space in an impressive heritage building.

“Regarding Park Valley Business Park, Park Valley Huddersfield Ltd must be congratulated on building speculatively in a challenging commercial property market.

“The company has tremendous faith in the Huddersfield area and this faith has been rewarded on a site which has a proud history and a great future.”
