A park within a park

Newham Industrial Estate is home to many smaller business parks, and one of these is expanding. Heron Industrial Park has grown out of the former Vospers yard and an adjacent strip of land. 

Owner Gary Morse is the brains behind Tresillian Business Park, which has developed over the last 20 years and now has 34 units on site with 100 per cent occupancy. “Any time a unit comes available, it's snapped up, so we were looking for another opportunity to increase our portfolio,” Gary explains.

There are already three tenants on site. Physiotherapist Oliver Hughes is expanding into a purpose-built unit with underfloor heating powered by air source heat pump, while Toy Barn Automotive vehicle restorers and Revolution Zero – who source recyclable PPE for the NHS – are housed in a traditional steel industrial unit.

Why Newham? “It’s right on the edge of Truro, so central for the rest of Cornwall and with reasonable access; and Tresillian is only three miles away so we know the market well,” says Gary.

“Also, Newham BID is known and respected, and does a great job. The estate is well run and well-kept, and they provide good security, with night patrols and CCTV. It’s an excellent place to do business as far as we’re concerned.”
