Roundhouse completes first phase of latest £10m Momentum site in Blackburn

Roundhouse has completed the first phase of its latest Momentum site in Blackburn and has only two available to purchase or let. 

Phase one saw 14 units being built, of which ten were 1,000 sq ft and four were 850 sq ft. When the site has been completed, it will see 68 new commercial units providing 24,000 sq ft of commercial space on a 1.56-hectare site.

The site lies adjacent to Guide Reservoir and opposite Shadsworth Business Park. It will be accessed off Haslingden Road close to Junction 5 of the M65 and includes provision for 193 parking spaces, motorcycle parking and cycle storage.

The Shadsworth site will be the fourth Momentum project and follows previous developments in Preston and Buckshaw Village, near Chorley. 

Managing director of Roundhouse Properties, Jeremy Lefton, said: “Despite the economic uncertainty over the past year, we have seen a healthy demand for units at our Blackburn site, and we’re now focussing on starting phase two that will see 20 units constructed by the end of May 2025.

“With the UK economy looking like it’s back on track, we expect that demand for phase two to be better than phase one, and once we have most of those units tenanted or sold, we’ll then look to develop the final phase of the site by 2026.

“We developed the Momentum concept to provide growing businesses with affordable and flexible space, and it’s an idea that has gone down very well with SMEs across the region.”

Danny Pinkus at Pinkus & Co. and Neil Weaver of Taylor Weaver are joint agents for the scheme.

Limitless Public Relations continues expansion with new Preston office 

Limitless PR has continued its expansion plans by opening an additional office in Lancashire. 

The strategic communications consultancy already has a base in Blackburn, but its decision to open a site in Preston is part of its longer-term strategy of increasing its presence across the North and then the UK with regional offices.  

Limitless Director Michael Gregory said:  

“Our longer-term aim is to build our presence across the North, the UK, and then continue to build networks overseas. However, our much more immediate focus is to open offices where there is a strong demand for our services.  

“Our client base in West Lancashire has grown over the last twelve months, and Preston was the logical place to open our second office. In the next two years, our plan is to open two more sites in the North West before looking at Yorkshire and the North East.” 

Limitless has recently been appointed to work with Preston-based clients, including AG Built Environment Consultancy, Bako Group Ltd, Preston City Council, Redmoor Health, Plumbs and the Santé Group

The growing agency has also been working with the University of Central Lancashire and Preston City Council on their partnership with the Rugby League World Cup 2021.
