BUSINESS CENTRE MANAGER APPOINTED FOR NEW EDNASTON PARK MANAGED WORKSPACE SCHEME

Lucy Delaney has been appointed business centre manager of the new Ednaston Park managed workspace scheme, located off the A52 between Derby and Ashbourne.

Lucy has a vast amount of experience in the business incubation and support sector and her brief is to offer a professional concierge service and establish a strong business community, which encourages collaboration and networking between tenants.

She was student employment agency co-ordinator at Derby University, before spending six years as a business broker at Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, where she supported businesses to access training, funding and specialist business advice.

She ran a student internship programme at Keele University before being appointed business development manager at Keele University Science & Business Park where she worked for five years.

During this period, she was responsible for attracting and retaining tenant businesses across the four Innovation Centres. She also managed the creation and operation of a business incubation centre for early-stage businesses and a specially designed Business Growth Programme. She holds a SFEDI accreditation for business advice.

Commenting on Lucy’s appointment, Andrew Bock, director at Clowes Developments, said:

“We’re thrilled to welcome Lucy to the CWC Group; her enthusiasm and experience in both managed workspace and business incubation will make her a tremendous asset to Ednaston Park.

“She is currently preparing Ednaston Park for our official launch and the arrival of our first landmark tenants at the end of the month.”

Speaking about her new role, Lucy added:

“Being appointed business centre manager for Ednaston Park is the perfect post for me. Over the years I’ve gained lots of experience in property management, business support and partnership working and this role will allow me to use that experience to help smaller businesses.”

“I’m on hand to make our tenants feel welcome and provide them with the support they need to help their businesses thrive.

“I’m sure that all the businesses that join us here will feel the same sense of pride that I do when they set foot on the grounds!”
