GBP3.5million business centre opens its doors

The new £3.5 million Evans Business Centre at Pioneer Business Park, Ellesmere Port, was officially opened on Tuesday, September 30 by local MP, Andrew Miller.

Part of the UK’s leading workspace network for small and growing businesses, the 31,000 sq ft business centre - offering 23 offices and 18 workshops with telephony and broadband - is proving highly popular with the local business community. Offices range from 300 – 525 sq ft and workshops from 980 – 2025 sq ft. With three offices and 12 workshops taken, the centre is expected to provide jobs for around 200 people once fully occupied.

Unveiling the plaque to mark the opening of the centre, Mr Miller said: "I am absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to open such a vibrant and flourishing business centre. Encouraging entrepreneurship is vital to Ellesmere Port’s economy and this centre will play an important part in providing the right business space to support new and developing businesses. I wish Evans Easyspace a very successful future."

Tom Stokes, Evans Easyspace managing director, said: “This centre demonstrates the thriving business community here in Ellesmere Port. Despite the widespread speculation about the effect the global financial climate is having on UK businesses, our experience at Evans Easyspace shows just how resilient the small business community really is. In fact, we believe the current economic climate is leading small businesses to opt for the kind of flexible business space we offer here and throughout the UK."

The Evans Business Centre offers the unique Evans Easyspace easy-in, easy-out terms with a rolling 2-month licence deal and no legal costs. Located at Pioneer Business Park next to Junction 7 of the M53, the Evans Business Centre is well situated for all transport links. The project is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund with match funding from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA).

Peter White, Executive Director of Development at the NWDA, said: “It’s encouraging to see that businesses are showing confidence in the Evans Business Centre, which is no doubt part due to its modern facilities and excellent transport links. The NWDA is delighted to support a project which will help new businesses to start and assist thriving businesses in expanding their operation. This scheme will provide much-needed facilities for small businesses and will help to create a more sustainable future for the local community.”
