The Woodside Industrial Estate in Kingshurst, Solihull is now fully let as three local businesses have snapped up the final lease agreements, with a wide range of SMEs calling the site home after support from Solihull Council.<\/p>\n
West Midlands-based commercial property agent Shepherd Commercial was instructed in spring 2024 to bring the site to full occupancy after the council conducted a major business diagnostics and interior refurbishment.<\/p>\n
The development now comprises a wide range of SMEs, with AR Quinn electrical contractors, Cameron Construction, and CRDH Electrical taking up residence at the three remaining 412 sq ft units.<\/p>\n
Businesses at the site benefit from free SME support from Solihull Council, which can include a tailored package to help them grow, adopt digital technologies, transition to new supply chains, and access funding opportunities. The recent refurbishment is part of a concerted effort from the local authority to provide industrial space for a growing number of small business owners.<\/p>\n
Kaine Arkinson, managing director at Shepherd Commercial, said interest in the units had been enormous, with the appetite for flexible space for SMEs continuing to grow.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe work the council has done to enable this scheme to reach its potential and pose an attractive choice for businesses has been fantastic. <\/p>\n
\u201cCompetitive pricing and a real appetite for light industrial space in the area meant these opportunities were snapped up very quickly, and it\u2019s fantastic to see a thriving business community at Woodside.\u201d <\/p>\n
Coucillor Ian Courts, deputy leader of Solihull Council and cabinet member for managed growth, added: \u201cThe success of Woodside Industrial Estate is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of our local businesses and the commitment of Solihull Council to supporting them.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy ensuring high-quality industrial space is available and providing tailored SME support, we are helping businesses thrive, adapt to new challenges, and seize new opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The estate provides gated entrances, with allocated parking and a convenient location near the M6 and M42.<\/p>\n
The three new tenants join a number of established Solihull SMEs already operating out of Woodside Industrial Estate, including All Seasons Refurbishment, The Window Cleaning Group and M&L Designers.<\/p>\n
